It’s just a short while ago Windows 11 is officially released For users, this new version of the Microsoft operating system brings many new features, as usual, but there is a feature that stands out, which Microsoft itself highlighted, which is the ability to Install Android apps via Microsoft Store.
It was quickly speculated on how this might happen, and Microsoft ended up confirming that the way to install apps from Google’s mobile operating system on Windows 11 would happen through an official app store. But it wasn’t the Play Store, it was a partnership Microsoft was founded with Amazon, to use the Amazon AppStore.
As a reminder, Google itself allows other Android app stores, something that Apple doesn’t allow on iOS, however Amazon AppStore has its presence on Kindle devices, Amazon tablets which have a strong market presence in the US, for example, like Kindle, In addition to using Android and offering tablet features, which began to focus on e-readers. So, this is also an opportunity for Amazon to expand its presence on hardware, with a huge leap.

Is that with this partnership, in addition to Kindle devices, the Amazon AppStore will be part of many Windows PCs, obviously after the release of Windows 11 and it is possible to install the App Store. Since most computers use Windows, the growth potential of the Amazon AppStore is huge and will be very good for both sides: Amazon increases its presence, and in this way, it will be easier to “convince” programmers to put their apps on the Amazon AppStore, while Microsoft adds a way (“not a big deal”). “) to add the ability for Windows 11 users to take advantage of Android apps.
Amazon AppStore already appears on Windows 11
Microsoft will start with the Amazon App Store, but has already ensured that it will be open for other app stores to be available in the Microsoft Store as well, so surely other well-known stores will appear.
However, the Microsoft has already ensured that this functionality will not be available from the start.. For starters, for the apps to work, an Android subsystem is needed, which isn’t yet available in beta versions, Windows for Insiders, so we already know we’ll have to wait a little longer.
But today’s news is that it’s already ‘available’ Amazon AppStore on Microsoft Store Pairs on Windows 11. However, it is not available to everyone. The Amazon App Store is already visible, but it is necessary to install a coupon, indicating that the store availability for testing is clear, as we already know without the Android subsystem, it is not possible to add apps. But it’s still good news.
This means that Microsoft will already be testing Android apps, and the testing method is probably more with the Amazon AppStore available in the Microsoft Store, so it has been blocked for installation by users.
