One of Windows 11\u2018s biggest features was omitted from the OS\u2019 initial launch<\/a>: the ability to run Android apps that you can install right from the Microsoft Store.<\/p>\n

That highly anticipated feature is finally showing signs of life, albeit in a very limited form. The \u2018Windows Subsystem for Android\u2018 is now rolling out<\/a> to Windows Insiders<\/a> on the beta channel, allowing them to downloads apps from the Amazon Appstore, which is embedded into the Microsoft Store. Similar to the Windows Subsystem for Linux, the Android subsystem will run in a Hyper-V Virtual machine.<\/p>\n

If you have a compatible system \u2014 it works with Intel and AMD as well as ARM processors \u2014 simply open up the Microsoft Store, and you should be able to see the new Android apps. These seem to be integrated pretty tightly with Windows. Microsoft says you\u2019ll be able to interact with app notifications right from the Windows Action Center, Snap to a side of your monitor, pin them to the taskbar, and interact via mouse, touch, or pen.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the selection is very limited to start, at just 50 apps. These include Amazon\u2019s Kindle app, Khan Academy Kids, and a handful of games and apps for kids. It\u2019s only a matter until more apps show up though; it\u2019s one of the most exciting features to come to Windows in a long time.<\/p>\n
