One of the most surprising Windows 11 features is its support for Android. But when you realize that Microsoft makes its own Android phone and that Windows 10 already established a link between the PC and your phone, it all makes sense. Why shouldn’t you be able to run the Android apps you love on Windows 11?

Instead, you’re getting the Amazon Appstore experience. That’s still a great app catalog, which probably includes the Android apps you use the most. But Microsoft isn’t quite ready to let anyone run any Amazon Android app on their Windows 11 device just yet.
