Question

What do I do if I don't have an email account?

You can register using your Facebook account instead. If you don't have that either, then there is essentially no way to get the account unless you get an email or Facebook.
Question

Can I get Instagram on the computer without downloading anything?

No, Instagram is designed for mobile devices, so the only way to use it on your computer is to run an Android emulator and download the app to your computer. You can then run the app through your Android emulator. There is no other way to use Instagram from your computer.
Question

How can I search for a friend on Instagram?

Do this on the mobile app, official website, BlueStacks or any Instagram web viewer. On the mobile app and BlueStacks, click the magnifying glass at the bottom of the screen and type in their name or Instagram handle. On the official site, there is a search bar at the top of the screen where you can type in their Instagram username or name. On most web viewers, you should be able to search for friends by locating a magnifying glass or search bar at the edges of the screen.
Question

Can I upload pics from my PC to Instagram?

Yes, multiple third party sources are available, either as a website or application required to download. You can use BlueStacks (shown in the article) to upload just as you would on the mobile app.
Question

I downloaded the app, why can't I sign up?

You can't sign up on BlueStacks as Instagram will display an error about your internet proxy. You need to download the official app on your mobile device to sign up, but if you are unable to do that you can download the app InstaPic, available on Windows 8 computers and up. On some computers if you visit the Instagram website it will allow you to sign up there.
