How do I install Android Operating System on Notebook

Technically speaking Android OS is meant for mobile devices, however there is an image available known as Android OS Live which can be installed on PC/ Laptop. However, it may not support all your Hardware. Its better to install it in some VM Software like VMWare (paid), VBox (free). 

Installation is like Linux installation and only Support EXT3 file system. 

Download the Live OS and burn it on a CD/ DVD, boot from it, Android Live will run and before installing the same form the installation make sure that all your Hardware is supported. 

If you want to dual boot with windows you'll also have to use Boot Manager like GRUB.
