How to Install Android apps on Windows 11

This post will discuss the right way to install Android apps on a Windows 11 PC. Someone might inquire how such integration is used between Windows OS and Android. The answer lies in the fact that users love playing Android games or using social media apps like WhatsApp on their laptops. 

Install Android Apps on Windows 11

When there is a possibility of installing any apps/games from the Google Play Store, there’s no need to depend on high resources consuming emulators like BlueStacks, LDPlayers, or others.

However, there’s a trick and this is you still need to install the Amazon Appstore on your PC so that you can get access to Android apps. This is feasible only when you are ready to install the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) on your computer. Let’s explore the right ways to install Android apps on Windows in somewhat more detail. 

Install/Uninstall Android Apps on Windows 11

Assuming you have already installed Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA), do the following to install any Android app on your Windows 11 PC –

  • First of all, press Win + S to launch the Search window.
  • Type “Amazon Appstore” in the text field, and click on the top result.
  • When the chosen App Store opens up, sign in using your Amazon (U.S.-based) account.
  • Now, when this Store app opens up, type the “App” name that you want to install on your computer. 
  • When the typed-in app comes into the display, click the Install button.

Now, wait for this app to download and install successfully. Once this installs completely, you may search for it on the Search window. When found, double-click on it, and enjoy the purpose for which you have installed this application. 

How to remove the recently installed Android Programs

If after using/running an application, you find it difficult to operate or it starts crashing now and then, it’s better to uninstall that particular game. Here’s how can you uninstall Android apps on your device –

  • Right-click on the Windows icon and select Apps & Features.
  • On the next screen, scroll and locate the Android app that you no longer wish to continue with.
  • Click the three-dotted menu on the extreme right side and when it expands, hit Uninstall.
  • Let this app uninstall successfully. 
  • Once this completes, restart your PC so that any leftover or residual files are deleted as well. 

I hope this post clearly illustrates how to install or uninstall Android Apps in Windows.
