Hi @sanmil

I dont think it's possible to install Google Play on a Windows phone according to everything I have just checked on Google

I'm fairly sure you can't. Why would you want to? Apps from google play will only work on android. Is there a specific app you want?

The usual way is to sideload the apk.

Recommended you use the Windows phone store

You can only use the windows App Store, no google play apps will work I think, a bit like you can't use iTunes on a Samsung

Morning,

Ex window user here and as far as i'm aware you can't install it to your Windows phone. It can only be installed on Android, Blackberry and Mac (via an app called Blue something??)

Hope this helps
