Run Android Apps on Windows 11 natively!

Checking out android on windows 'windows subsystem for android™️"

Requirements:

- non 🦥 slow pc. (☹️🤷sorry)

- Windows 11  Build 22000.526 or higher

If you dont have this version you are out of luck :/ you may have to opt in to windows beta releases

Lets install an app!

1) Go to the windows store

2) type in kindel for android

3) click install

it will install the windows subsystem for android automatically just wait for it to finish

Sign in. I have two factor auth setup, so required clicking a link on my phone

Install by clicking "get"

Success!

Seems to work pretty smoothly!


Lets try another app

Review

Takeaways

Seems kinda janky with multiple stores for the android apps, android apps require amazon app store and windows app require windows store

Biggest con: App selection is really small! currently ( 2022-03-08) there is only games stuff currently supported :/

Google should allow their appstore on the device! that would make everyone happy

Sideloading

For the adventurous few

You can add apps by 'sideloading' by following this blog post. currently i havent tried it but it can be done!
