One of the main novelties of Windows 11 will undoubtedly be its compatibility with Android apps. This is something that, with different approaches, Microsoft has been working on for a long time. First by making the Your Phone application capable of reproducing the content of the screen of an Android smartphone in Windows (more specifically with part of the Samsung catalog), but then eliminating the need to use a smartphone, by transferring 100% of the work to pc.

This last approach is undoubtedly the most correct, because the simple replica of the mobile screen on the PC is an interesting possibility, but extremely limited. Fortunately, Microsoft was aware of this and, instead of advancing in this way, they focused on Project Latte, a project to give native support to Android apps in the operating system, and as confirmed by those from Redmond In the announcement of Windows 11, it will be part of the new iteration of Windows.

For that end, Android subsystem for Windows 11 will be based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project), the free version of Android that, among other differences, does not integrate Google services, including, of course, Google Play. This makes it the ideal version to integrate it into other environments without having to depend on Google for its correct operation, something that expands its possibilities. This is why AOSP is so popular as a platform for many manufacturers.

The Amazon store appears in the Windows 11

Such is the case of Amazon, which has its own application store for its devices. And it is precisely that store that will be responsible, in the first instance, for bringing Android apps to Windows 11. We do not know when, since despite the fact that Windows 11 will arrive on October 5, the support of Android apps will not be available at the beginning. Even so, there are quite a few voices that affirm that we won’t have to wait too longas this is one of Microsoft’s top priorities for its new operating system.

And now we have proof of this, because although it is not yet available for download, Amazon Appstore has already appeared in Microsoft Store, as you can see in this link. At the moment it appears with the label «Amazon Confidential – For testing purposes«, which makes us think that only people authorized to do so will download it, and it is most likely that at the moment what is being tested is its integration with Windows 11, rather than the operation of the apps that can be downloaded from it in The operating system.

Something curious, yes, is that when reviewing its technical requirements, what we find is Windows 10 version 22000.0 with 8 gigabytes of RAM (16 recommended). I mention it as anecdotal because, in reality, Windows 10 version 22000.0 is Windows 11, but it is still curious to see that this name is used.
