On Windows 11, Microsoft introduces a new feature supporting Android apps called Windows Subsystem for Android. It includes a Linux kernel and an Android operating system based on Android Open Source Project (AOSP) version 11. This Subsystem runs in a Hyper-V virtual machine similar to Windows Subsystem for Linux, mapping runtime and API of apps within the AOSP environment to Windows graphics, cache memory, input modes, physical and virtual devices, and sensors.

However, it's crucial to note that the Windows Subsystem only supports and runs on compatible devices using AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm chips.
Finally, the feature to run Android apps on Windows 11 is currently only available on the Beta channel for developers and Insider users. It is limited to users in the United States and requires an Amazon account in the U.S. to access the Amazon Appstore. Users in other countries, such as Vietnam, can download one of the Android emulation software options, like BlueStacks, to experience Android apps on their PC.
