Introducing the Windows Subsystem for Android

on


If you're an Android developer or enthusiast, you'll be excited to learn about the latest addition to Microsoft's family of products - the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA). This new platform allows you to run Android apps directly on your Windows 11 PC, giving you access to a vast library of apps and games without the need for an Android device.




Getting Started with WSA

To get started with WSA, you'll need to download and install the WSA app from the Microsoft Store. Once installed, you can launch the app and begin browsing the library of available Android apps.


To run Android apps on your PC, you'll also need to install the Windows Subsystem for Android Virtualization (WSAV) platform. This platform provides a virtual machine environment for running Android apps on your PC.


Configuring WSAV

To configure WSAV, you'll need to navigate to the Virtual Machine Platform section of the Windows Features menu. Here, you can enable the WSAV platform and configure its settings.


Once you've enabled WSAV, you can launch the WSA app and begin installing and running Android apps on your PC.




Virtualization in BIOS

To ensure that WSAV runs smoothly on your PC, you may need to enable virtualization in your PC's BIOS settings. This will allow your PC to allocate resources to WSAV more effectively, resulting in faster performance and smoother app operation.




Roll-Off into Microsoft Store Links

To make it easier to access WSA and WSAV, Microsoft has included roll-off links to both products in the Microsoft Store. This allows you to quickly and easily download and install both products without having to search for them manually.
