How to Install Android Apps on Windows 11

While you've always been able to use Android apps on your computer, it required a third-party app that often ran Android apps poorly. The wait is now over as Microsoft and Amazon have finally given Windows 11 users a chance to run Androids apps officially.

There are, for the most part, only a couple of requirements.

The first release, late October 2021, is available for beta testers running the Windows Insider Beta, build 22000.282, or newer until released to the public.

You will need 8GB of RAM minimum, and 16GB is recommended. We could not install it with less than 16GB in some situations.

Hardware virtualization must be enabled on your motherboard. You can enable Intel VT-X in your computer's BIOS or AMD-V for AMD chipsets.

You can see if virtualization is enabled by opening the Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and clicking on the Performance tab.
