Play Android Games on PC now This feature has been in the works for a long time and we probably won’t see an official release until 2022. Fortunately, eager people now have the chance to try out a beta version of the Android feature.

What is the Android feature?

Currently, there are only 50 Android apps available from teaching apps to games like Lords Mobile and Color by Numbers. If you want to try out the Android app feature, you will have to become a member of Windows Insider and install the latest version of the Windows 11 beta. You also have to be living within the United States because this beta is locked to the US. If you’re outside, you are unfortunately out of luck and will have to wait until Microsoft releases this feature officially.

On top of being able to run Windows 11, your computer needs:

8GB of RAM Version 22110.1402.6.0 or higher of the Microsoft Store app Build 22000.xxx or higher of Windows 11 Have a solid-state drive (SSD) storage

Without these requirements, the beta will not work. That said, this guide will show you step-by-step instructions on how to check if your computer meets the requirements, how to become a member of the Windows Insider Program, and how to install some games.

How can I install Android games and apps on a Windows 11 PC?

1. Check System Requirements

2. Join the Windows Insider Program

3. Download the latest version of the Microsoft Store

4. Install Windows Subsystem for Android

After this, you are finally ready to install Android games on your Windows 11 computer.

  3. Click the Download button to start downloading the selected game.

  4. After the game finishes downloading, the blue bar underneath it changes to Open. Click Open to bring up the game.

  5. A small window of the game will appear which can be resized. You can also use the mouth and keyboard to play the game.

What can I do if I don’t have the system requirements?

If your computer doesn’t meet the system requirements, you can upgrade your hardware by installing an SSD or updating your RAM. But there are so many different kinds of SSDs that it can be overwhelming, so it’s important to do some research and find out which SSDs are the best. If you do manage to download the Windows Subsystem for Android beta, note that the selection is pretty slim. There are only a hand full of games available with no news if more are coming. But the selection of Android apps is pretty decent as it has other games like Minecraft and some non-game apps. If you still want to try out Android apps on your computer, there are other options. There exist Android emulators that allow people to use apps on a Windows 10 and 11 computer, and the best part is that the best ones are free.
