It was one of the flagship functions announced by Microsoft for Windows 11 : the ability to install Android applications directly from the Amazon App Store integrated into the Microsoft Store. Late, the feature was eventually launched by Microsoft on October 20. Here’s how to install Android apps on Windows 11.

Prerequisites

To be able to install Android apps on Windows 11, you must meet several criteria.

First of all, the PC must be running Windows 11 (build 22000.xxx) and have access to virtualization. To check this criterion, run “System information” and look at the line “Hyper-V” to check if virtualization is enabled in the firmware. If this is not the case, it will be necessary to go through the UEFI parameters to activate the corresponding parameter (SVM for AMD or VT for Intel).

You should also set the PC region to ” United States “. To do this, go to the settings of Windows 11, in the Time and language section, and in the section “Language and region”. The change is effective immediately.

Finally, for the moment it is necessary to be a member of the Insider program in the Beta channel. The Microsoft Store must be updated, to at least version 22110.1402.6.0.
