How to install Android apps on Windows 11

One of the flagship features Microsoft mentioned about Windows 11 was the ability to install Android apps on your PC, allowing you to use some of the same apps you use on your Android phone right on your Windows desktop.

Microsoft made good on its promise, releasing the update that brings Amazon's Appstore to Windows 11.

First you need to check system requirements. To do this click on the Microsoft store app on your PC. Once open search for Amazon Appstore. With the Appstore listing visible choose an app and and if your PC meets the requirements for downloading apps you should see a green check-mark. Otherwise, click on Show more to view the entire list of requirements to see where your system falls short.
