Windows 11 users will have the ability to search different apps inside the Microsoft store and then shift to the Amazon App Store to install an Android app.

Amazon App Store To Offer Android App Support In Microsoft Windows 11

Windows 11 will be the first OS to offer built-in support for Android apps. Earlier people relied on third-party software like Bluestacks to mirror android apps on PC however with Mircosoft 11 such emulators will most likely become redundant.

A lot of people use android apps on PC, especially games like Call of Duty: Mobile, BGMI, Free Fire and many more. However, these people would have to wait a little longer to play android games on PC because support for these apps won’t be available on the official Windows 11 launch on October 5, 2021. 

Nonetheless, with the Amazon app store appearing on the Microsoft Windows store, its official launch seems imminent.
