Windows 11 Will Run Android Apps

With Windows 11, you no longer have to rely on Android emulators for Windows to run an Android app on your Windows PC. After upgrading to Windows 11, you have access to your favorite Android apps from core UI elements, including Start Menu and taskbar. The amazing thing about this part is that you can find and install apps through Microsoft Store. You can also pin these apps to the taskbar or place them conveniently on the screen with the new Snap Assist.

All these Android apps are coming to Microsoft Store, thanks to Amazon. The company has partnered with Amazon to integrate Amazon Appstore to Microsoft Store. Powered by the Intel Bridge technology, you can seamlessly download and install Android apps by browsing Amazon’s catalog of Android apps.
