To do this for your windows PC or Mac, please follow the steps below;

1. Download and install Bluestacks App player

Get the latest bluestacks app player from www.bluestacks.com. Make sure you install after downloading it.

2. Run the bluestacks app player and install Whatsapp (or any other App you want)

After the bluestacks app player completely load on your PC/Mac, you will need to search for Whatsapp or any other app you want. Click the search button (on top right hand corner) and search for Whatsapp. 

You will see Whatsapp on the list. Click on "Install".

After that the bluestacks app player will search for Amazon app store, Google Play and some other markets for Whatsapp availability and it will let you choose which market that you want to complete the download.

I'll advise you to download from Google Play. Click on "Whatsapp" on the list under Google Play. You will need to sign in with your Google account to finally install Whatsapp. If you don't have a Google account, you will need to create one. 

The installation will be completed after you log in with your Google account. After which you can then run the Whatsapp by following the normal procedure on creating a account on Whatsapp. Enter your phone number, get a code sent to your mobile phone, wait for the 5 minutes countdown to enter the code and you are good to go.

That’s it.
