Windows 11 beta testers can try out Android apps

Microsoft is inching closer to bringing Android apps to Windows 11. The first test preview of the highly anticipated feature is now available for the company's Windows Insiders, Microsoft said in a blog post on Wednesday. 

In June, Microsoft announced that Android apps would be coming to Windows 11 and installable from within the Microsoft Store. But Android apps weren't available when Windows 11 launched earlier this month as a free upgrade for many users.

"Our focus right now is delivering this first preview on the now-released version of Windows 11 in the Beta Channel (Windows 11 Build 22000.xxx series builds) in the U.S.," said Microsoft's Brandon LeBlanc in the post. 

There are a few requirements for people in the beta channel that want to download and use Android apps. Your computer must be on Windows 11 and meet the Microsoft hardware requirements and other steps. You also must have an Amazon account to access the Amazon Appstore. 

Microsoft said it partnered with Amazon to curate 50 apps for Windows Insiders to test, adding that it'll add more apps in the "coming months." Microsoft cautioned that there are a few known problems that test users can expect, including that review ratings won't display, accessibility options are unavailable and camera issues for certain Android apps. Beta users can also share feedback on their experience.

Windows 11 looks a little different. Here's what's changing

Windows 11 looks a little different. Here's what's changing

Windows 11 is the next version of Microsoft's operating system, and it comes with a brand new design and some updated features. The company unveiled the new PC-powering software at a virtual event last week (here's everything Microsoft announced). The Windows 11 beta download will be here in July, but for right now, the new operating system is only available as an Insider Preview build -- here's how to download it.

Windows 11 features a streamlined new design, with pastel-like colors and rounded corners, and overall a more Mac-like look. The Windows Start menu has moved from the bottom left of the screen to the middle, with app icons arranged in the center next to it. You'll also find widgets that give you information on the weather, stocks, news and more. 

For the first time, Android apps will run natively on Windows, through Amazon's app store (here's everything we know about that). 

The new system also includes a feature called Snap Groups -- collections of the apps you're using at once that sit in the taskbar, and can come up or be minimized at the same time for easier task switching. You can also set up virtual desktops in a way that's more similar to Macs, toggling between multiple desktops at once for personal, work, school or gaming use. Microsoft Teams will also be built directly into Windows 11, becoming a more FaceTime-like chat app. 

A new Windows 11 feature called Snap Groups will let you group apps together and bring them up at the same time.

Microsoft

Windows 11 marks the first major update to Microsoft's OS since Windows 10 launched back in 2015. Rumors about a major Windows redesign have been circulating for the past year. At the Microsoft Build developers conference on May 25, CEO Satya Nadella said Microsoft was planning "one of the most significant updates of Windows of the past decade," confirming that a major change was on the horizon for the 1.3 billion users of the OS in 2021. And in mid-June, Microsoft quietly announced that it would end support for Windows 10 in 2025 as leaked images of Windows 11 spread (here's what that means for Windows 10 users). 

Microsoft's decision to upgrade Windows now is no accident. PC sales have exploded over the past year as the pandemic upended billions of lives, forcing many people into lockdowns and sudden mass experiments in remote work. While those efforts largely worked out, and productivity across the US actually rose while people worked from home, it turned out many people needed new computers to do it. As a result, PC sales growth has roared back so much that many computer parts are hard to come by nowadays. If it weren't for supply shortages across the tech industry, analysts believe desktop and notebook computers would notch their highest-ever sales this year.

Windows 11 Finally Adds Android Apps. Here's How to Download Them

Windows 11, Microsoft's latest operating system, is finally starting to roll out one of its anticipated features, Android apps for PC, according to a release from the company. The Amazon Appstore in the Microsoft Store -- where you'll be able to download Android apps -- will start in preview in the US. 

Accessing Android Apps for PC with Windows 11 has a few hardware requirements, like at least 8 GB of RAM, a solid-state drive and a supported processor. Here's how to check out the preview:

1. Open the Microsoft Store (make sure it's up to date by opening the store and clicking Get updates > Library).
2. Search for your favorite apps or games.
3. Download them through the Amazon Appstore.

With the Amazon Appstore preview, users can explore an extra 1,000 apps, including Audible and Kindle, according to Microsoft, as well as a new category of mobile apps and games in partnership with Intel.

"These apps feel like a part of Windows, integrating naturally with Windows input and windowing experiences, like Snap layouts," Microsoft Chief Product Officer Panos Panay said in a statement.

Along with the Amazon Appstore preview, Microsoft is rolling out improvements to the taskbar. The enhanced taskbar adds the ability to share windows from open apps, weather reports, a clock on your second monitor and mute/unmute features to make video calls easier. Users can also explore redesigned versions of Media Player and Notepad.  

Microsoft has been rolling out Windows 11 in phases, but support for Windows 10 will remain in place for a few more years (check out CNET's comparison of Windows 10 versus Windows 11). If you're still using Windows 10, you can use Android apps on your PC if you're a Samsung Galaxy owner.

Windows 10 November 2021 update available today

Microsoft on Tuesday said its Windows 10 November 2021 update is now available. If you're running Windows 10, version 2004 or later, then you should be able to install the update on your machine. 

Microsoft is also ramping up the pace on its Windows 11 rollout and making the upgrade more widely available for eligible Windows 10 devices, said John Cable, vice president of program management at Microsoft, in a blog post. 

To install the November 2021 update, navigate to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, and select the "Check for updates" option. If your device is compatible, you'll see the update there and you'll have the option to install it. Click on "Download and install" to begin the process. If your machine is eligible for the Windows 11 upgrade, you'll be given the option to install that as well.

In the blog post, Cable explains that "being on the latest version of Windows provides you with the latest features, security improvements and control. We recommend that you update your devices to the latest version of Windows 10 or upgrade eligible devices to Windows 11." 

He also notes that support for "at least one version of" Windows 10 will run through Oct. 14, 2025, and that the next major Windows 10 feature update is expected in the second half of 2022.
