When Microsoft presented last fall Windows 11, promised that sometime in the future the new system will support apps for Android. And that moment has come right now. This guide will describe exactly how to your computer with "elevens" Android application download.
Microsoft recently boasted that on Windows 11 is ready to install over 1 apps for Android. On the other hand Android apps in new "windows" do not support the Play Store, nor is there support for apps that require Google Play services. It should also be noted that the new feature is currently only available in the US. Before downloading apps for Android you must first make sure that the latest version is installed on your computer Windows 11 (Public Preview Build 1.8.32837.0), and that the Microsoft Store is also updated to the latest version (see Microsoft Store > Library > Get Updates).
Since the app for Android are not available directly from the Microsoft Store, you must download a separate app for Windows. The procedure is as follows:
- Ve Windows 11 click on the menu Home and search Microsoft Store.
- In the store, click on the search bar and type Amazon Appstore.
- Install the found application.
- Now you will see a popup asking you to download something called Windows Subsystem for Android. Click on Download. This is a necessary installation, however, you do not need to check the box that allows Microsoft access to diagnostic data.
- When the app asks you for permission to make changes, click on Year.
- When the download is complete, click on the pop-up window Open the Amazon Appstore.
- After a short loading screen, sign in with your Amazon account in the app.

After downloading any app from Amazon Appstore, you will be able to find it easily. Click on the menu Home and then on All applications, allowing you to browse your apps and programs. Alternatively, it's possible to search directly from the Start menu if you know what you're looking for. Microsoft will offer Android applications in Windows 11 to expand in the future, but at this time it is not clear if the applications will ever receive support from the Google Play Store.
