ABOUT AndEX
My compiled Androidx86 systems (Nougat 7.1.2, Marshmallow 6.0.1 and Lollipop 5.1.1) can run live (from CD or a USB stick) or be installed on almost all laptops (and some Desktop computers). For example Acer (Aspire), HP, Samsung, Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo, Thinkpad, Fujitsu, Panasonic and Asus laptops. I can also mention that I could run the Lollipop version without problems on a HP Pavilion 500 Desktop Computer. The Android systems are distributed in the form of an ISO file as the rest of my Linux distributions. I.e. you must (as usual) burn the ISO file to a CD if you want to run the system live on your computer or install it to hard drive. Just use ImgBurn. Nothing can go wrong.
INSTALL the system to hard drive
Say for example that you have a laptop with Windows 10 installed as the only operating system. If you just create one extra partition of about 5 GB you can install Android Marshmallow/Lollipop on this extra partition and then dual-boot. I.e. you can turn on your computer (called booting it up) and decide whether you want to start Windows or Android Marshmallow/Lollipop. Grub will be installed as boot handler/loader during the installation of Android Marshmallow/Lollipop. Note: The installation will take only about one minute. And the installation to hard drive is so simple that a 10 year old child can do it.
USB installation
Read my instruction: http://andex.exton.net/?page_id=31
You can get persistence! Read under A).
UPDATES
If you install AndEX to hard drive or to a USB stick with persistence installed apps will be automatically updated/upgraded via Google Play Store. The system will check for updates all the time or after a reboot. It works in the same way as on your Android phone.
NOTE/WARNING
You must use a fairly new/modern computer. Android-x86 Nougat, Marshmallow or Lollipop wont run (even start) on older computers. My other Android remaster KitKat 4.4.4 will run also on older computers.
FINAL NOTE: My "old" AndEX Lollipop ISO has been out on SourceForge.net and the Swedish Linux Society for free from 150307 until 150402. The ISO file was downloaded about 50000 times during that period. More than any of my other Linux distributions (ever).
