How to run Android apps on Windows 11 (experimental)

Microsoft has officially launched the feature to run Android applications on Windows 11. However, the software giant has only stopped at the level of testing on a small group of users in the US.

In this article, TipsMake.com will show you how to run Android applications on Windows 11. To be successful, you need to comply with some pretty strict requirements. If you are unable to meet these requirements, please wait a little longer.

Requirements to be met to be able to run Android apps on Windows 11

Before you can try to run Android apps on Windows 11, you need to make sure your computer meets the following requirements:

• Joining the Windows Insider Beta channel for Windows 11: Microsoft decided that Beta channel users will be tested before running Android apps on Windows 11. So, if you are on other channels you need to switch to Beta channel. According to Microsoft, the Dev channel will soon be participating in the test.

• Refer to how to switch Windows Insider channels: How to switch between Dev Channel and Beta Channel on Windows 11
• Running build 22000.282 or later: The next condition is that your computer must be running build 22000.282 or later. You can check by pressing Win + CHEAP then type winver and press Enter.

• Must enable virtualization (virtualization): If you’re not sure if your computer has virtualization enabled, you can visit Task Manager then go to card Performance To test. If you see the text “Virtualization: Enabled” in the lower right corner means that virtualization is enabled. Otherwise, you have to go into the BIOS to enable it.

• The computer must set the territory as the US
• US citizen’s Amazon account is required
