Android features in Windows! Isn’t that a fantastic idea? Definitely yes. Windows developers promised that vision in their newly designed Windows 11, but when it launched, the Android feature was nowhere to be found!
However, in the Windows 11 update, developers include the Amazon Appstore via the Microsoft store. With that Appstore, you can use android apps on Windows 11. But sadly, it’s in a trial period and only available in the U.S.
So when I researched the installation process of the Amazon Appstore, I sorted out some easy methods. That can help you download and install the App Store without any hassle.
Without skipping, read the full article to learn about the process.
Let’s start!
Can You Get Amazon Appstore on Windows?
Yes, you can get Amazon Appstore on Windows 11. To install the App Store, you must open the Microsoft store, search for Amazon Appstore and download it from there. After the download, install it and open a new amazon account or log in to your previous one.
You can easily run your desired android apps on the Windows 11 system with the help of Amazon Appstore. But there is an inconvenience; the Appstore is in trial condition and is not very stable. As a result, you can use it only if you are in the U.S.
But several Windows users want to use the android feature on their Windows 11. It can only be done when you bypass the amazon location system. If you want to know how to bypass the amazon location settings, just follow on.
Also, installing Windows 11 upgrade assistant on your computer reduces the download and installation time, especially if you are updating from Windows 10.
