How to Switch Android Versions on Bluestacks

=====================================================================================

Bluestacks is a popular emulator that allows you to run your favorite Android games and apps directly on your computer or laptop running on either Windows or Mac OS X operating systems.

In this guide, we will walk through the process of switching between different versions of BlueStacks. Before proceeding with these steps make sure you have installed Bluestacks from official website because any third-party sources might contain malware which could harm your device's performance.

Method 1: Using Control Panel (Windows)

------------------------------

To switch to a newer version or roll back to an older one using the control panel in Windows:

1. Click on Start and then select 'Control Panel'.

2. In the new window, double-click on 'Programs and Features' if you're running XP/Vista/8/10.

Method 2: Using BlueStacks App Player (MacOS)

---------------------------------------------

If you are using MacOS instead:

1. Go to Applications > Bluestacks folder

2. Right-click anywhere within this directory and select 'Show Package Contents'

3. Now, inside the newly opened window double click on 'Contents' followed by another right mouse button press.

4. From here navigate through following directories until reaching `MacOS`

Method 3: Manually Downloading BlueStacks Installers

------------------------------------------------

If none of above methods work for you then manually downloading and installing BlueStacks installers might be your last resort:

1. Head over to official Bluestacks website 'www.bluestack.com'(http://www.bluestack.com/) from any modern web browser.

2. Scroll down until reaching 'Download' section at bottom right corner of homepage

3. Select appropriate operating system (Windows or Mac) based on your computer's OS type.

4. Wait for download to complete; it may take a few seconds depending upon internet speed.

Once downloaded double click .exe file (for Windows users only), follow instructions appearing during setup process until you reach final installation screen where select 'Finish'.

Restarting BlueStacks App Player

------------------------------

After completing above steps, restart your computer or simply relaunch Bluestacks app player from Start menu/ Applications folder depending upon operating system being used.

Troubleshooting Tips

If after following these instructions you still encounter issues while switching between different versions of BlueStackS try:

1. Uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version directly from official website.

2. Checking for any conflicts with other third-party apps or programs running in background by pressing `Ctrl+Shift + Esc` keys simultaneously on Windows (or Command + Option + Shift + Escape) then ending task(s) related to BlueStacks if present.
