After the documentation for the Windows Subsystem for Android was discovered on the Microsoft website today, the company has now officially announced that Android apps are now available on Windows 11 if you are a Windows insider. Strangely enough, you have to be signed in to the beta channel and not the development channel to access the first preview for Android apps on Windows 11.
Microsoft writes that it would like to test this feature first on versions of Windows 11 that are already available to the public, suggesting that the feature will appear separately from a typical feature update.
If you want to try out Android apps under Windows 11, you need a few additional system requirements in addition to the basic requirements for Windows 11. According to the requirements for Windows 11 published by Microsoft, you need a PC with at least 8 GB of RAM, an SSD drive and an Intel Core i3, AMD Ryzen 3000 or Qualcomm Snapdragon 8c processor of the eighth generation or higher. These are not basic requirements for running Windows 11, but they are required for the Android apps.
Another requirement, at least for now, is that the PC's region is set to the United States, and to access the Amazon Appstore, you also need an Amazon account in the United States.
Apart from that, the virtualization in the BIOS / UEFI of your PC has to be activated and you have to be part of the Windows Insider Beta Channel. Launching is associated with a few known problems, such as: For example, the Microsoft Store does not display ratings for Amazon Appstore apps and performance fluctuates when running multiple apps at the same time.
Originally, Android apps were supposed to be launched along with Windows 11, but the full launch has been postponed indefinitely. A date is currently expected in 2022.
