You'll be able to sideload Android apps in Windows 11
Miguel de Icaza, distinguished engineer at Microsoft, has been on Twitter assuring people that apps will run even if they aren't obtained from Amazon. Android programs are bundled as apk files, and apparently you'll be able to "bring your own" and sideload them.
So yes, if you've got a library of apks from somewhere like itch.io, or are particularly attached to anything from the open-source app library at F-Droid, they'll run in Windows 11. Here's everything we know about Windows 11's release date, pricing, and what it means for games.

OGTrey079 Unless you're a dev why would you even want to run android apps on a pc
well alot of people use BlueStacks to run things on their PC, it's real simple? uh why pick up your phone when you can have everything right infront of you, I already thought that Samsung Dex was an amazing feature that you could use on Windows, actually being able to just sideload that shit on PC is an insane feature.
