One of the greatest changes between Microsoft’s most recent operating system and Windows 10 is that Windows 11 supports Android apps via the Amazon App Store. But it’s more involved than just downloading and utilizing Android apps. You must understand how to set up Android applications on Windows 11.
Here, we’ll concentrate on installing Android applications natively on Windows 11. Emulation allows you to access Android apps on Windows 10; however, if you want to run Android apps through Windows, we advise installing Windows 11.
Installing Android applications on Windows 11
The Amazon Appstore and the Android Subsystem for Windows are required for Android apps to run on Windows 11. The Android Subsystem for Windows should already be installed with Windows 11, but in case it isn’t, you can download it again from the Microsoft Store.
Step 1:Â Press Windows + S to launch the Microsoft Store, then type “Microsoft Store” into the search box.
Step 2:Â Look up “Amazon Appstore” and choose the application.
Step 3: Install
Step 4:Â If you haven’t already, you might need to enable virtualization at this point on your machine. If you don’t already have the Android Subsystem for Windows installed, Windows 11 can set it up for you immediately.
If the window appears, choose Set up > Download > Restart and follow the instructions from the Microsoft Store. Your computer has to be restarted.
On Windows 11, you are limited to the Amazon Appstore, but you can still download and utilize many apps, such as TikTok and Comixology. Read our article on the top Android apps for Windows 11 if you want to know how to get started.
