Microsoft has been talking about the arrival of Android apps on Windows 11 for some time now<\/a>. We knew the situation involved the Amazon Appstore and Android apps from there running \u201cnaturally\u201d on Windows through the Microsoft Store. Today, if you are in the US and running Windows 11, you can start to experience it all.<\/p>\n

Microsoft announced via blog post<\/a> that a bunch of the promised experiences for Windows 11 are now rolling out, from taskbar enhancements to clock placements on multi-monitor setups and a couple of revamped apps. But really, the big deal for us is this new Android app integration.<\/p>\n

With the Amazon Appstore now on Windows 11, users can find over 1,000 apps and games that can be installed and run, almost like they were \u201ca part of Windows.\u201d Apps like Audible, Kindle, Subway Surfers, and Khan Academy are all there, just don\u2019t expect a bunch of Google apps, since this is Amazon\u2019s Appstore.<\/p>\n

\"Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

To get Amazon\u2019s Appstore up and running on your PC, you\u2019ll open up the Microsoft Store, head into the Library tab, and then click the \u201cGet Updates\u201d button. This should initiate a bunch of updates to Microsoft services that bring in the Android app support, at least that\u2019s how it looked when I just updated. Once done and the Microsoft Store re-opens, you should see a big splash screen at the top to showcase the Appstore\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n

After updating, I can tell you that there are indeed Android apps there, as you can see above. However, finding more Android apps wasn\u2019t easy. It seems like Microsoft is simply pushing them together with regular PC apps and so you really need to look for the \u201cmobile app\u201d tag under the title to know what you are getting.<\/p>\n

Still, this could be cool, as long as Amazon\u2019s selection of apps is decent. I can\u2019t say I\u2019ve looked at the Amazon Appstore in a solid 10 years.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve updated, tell us what you are finding.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
