Just last week, Microsoft rolled out the Amazon Appstore preview for American users. Although this feature has been available for Windows Insiders for quite a while now, it is now rolling out to all users who own devices running Windows 11. Moreover, the company has disclosed the minimum requirements for your Windows 11 PC to support Android apps and the Amazon Appstore.
Microsoft’s FAQ website has listed the major requirements that your device must meet to be able to run mobile apps. While it doesn’t mention all the devices that support the feature, it does note that you’re good to go as long as your PC runs Windows 11 and meets the following criteria—most importantly, your device should run Windows 11 version 21H2 or newer and have at least 8GB of RAM along with a processor that is officially supported by Microsoft.
Minimum Requirements To Run Android Apps on Windows 11
Here’s the full list of minimum specs required to run Android apps on Windows 11:
| RAM | Minimum 8 GB Recommended 16 GB |
| Storage type | Solid State Drive (SSD) |
| Processor | Intel Core i3 8th Gen or above AMD Ryzen 3000 or above Qualcomm Snapdragon 8c or above |
| Processor architecture | x64 or ARM64 |
| Virtual Machine Platform | Needs to be enabled |
Windows 11 Update Major Features
Microsoft has rolled out Android apps to Windows 11 PCs as part of its first big Windows 11 update. This update includes nearly 1000 apps, including Amazon’s Audible and Kindle, as well as third-party apps such as Subway Surfers and Khan Academy Kids. However, Google Play Store is still sorely missing from the update.
