This will give you access to a whole range of new apps. Setting it up differs depending on the version of the Amazon tablet. Do note that installing apps that are outside the Amazon store can increase the chances of your devices being attacked by malware or virus.

Installing Google Play on Older Kindle Fire

If your Amazon tablet is running on an older version or if the above process is not yielding the results, you will have to root the device. You will require a USB cable and a Windows PC to move ahead with the process. Since the Fire OS is simply an altered version of the Android OS, you will find that the process for rooting the Fire tablet is pretty similar to an Android device. One thing you must remember here is the fact that rooting the Fire tablet will render your warranty void. If you are sure you still want to go ahead, do it.

Go the Setting and then select the Device Options on your Kindle Fire. Keep tapping the Serial Number till Developer Options shows up. Click on it, enabling ADB or Android Debug Bridge. Ignore the security warning that pops up.

Now, connect the Kindle Fire to your PC. If your computer doesn’t detect the tablet, you will have to install USB drivers manually. Click on Allow USB debugging. However, if this option doesn’t show up, you will have to install drivers for it again. Click Ok to enable debugging.
