3. Then go to path C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\Android and backup the Root.fs file as we are going to replace this file later.
   
4. Now, extract the zip file you downloaded from the link given above .Then open the extracted folder and then double click on the Bluestacks RootEZ.exe. It will ask for Administrative Rights so Click on OK.
