Windows 11 is coming later this year and will not only bring an all-new user experience but also will allow the users to run Android applications natively. Microsoft showcased how it is bringing support for the Android application on Windows 11 on Thursday through a quick demo during the virtual conference. The Redmond company has partnered with Amazon to integrate Amazon Appstore within Microsoft Store to enable the downloading of Android applications on Windows 11 PCs. However, the new operating system will include Intel’s proprietary runtime compiler that will natively run Android apps on Windows PCs.
Microsoft showcased Android applications like TikTok coming to Windows 11 through Amazon Appstore. “Windows customers will be able to discover Android apps in the Microsoft Store, and acquire them through the Amazon Appstore,” Microsoft mentioned in a blog post.
In addition to providing Amazon Appstore within Microsoft Store for downloading Android apps, Microsoft has partnered with Intel to use the Intel Bridge technology for offering mobile application support on Windows PCs. This allows users to run Android apps on their Windows 11 machines, even when not part of the Appstore.
