Microsoft is set to release Windows 11 Operating System on October 5. With the big news, it has also been confirmed that Windows 11 will not be able to run Android apps at the launch. The ability to natively run Android apps on a PC is one of the key features of Windows 11, but it seems that users will have to wait a little longer as the company claims that it will begin public testing only a few months later.
In a blog post, Microsoft said that it would only start previewing the software support for the Android feature in the “coming months.” The company, however, hasn’t specified in which month it will implement this feature.
Microsoft is currently working with Amazon and Intel to include Android apps in Windows 11 and the Microsoft Store, said Aaron Woodman, General Manager of Marketing at Microsoft, indicating that Android software will not appear in Windows 11 until 2022.
Although support for Android apps will remain unavailable at the launch of Windows 11, it will include the promised integration with Microsoft Teams, with a redesigned start menu, improved multitasking, and a redesigned app store.
Besides, Windows 11 also includes a new Microsoft Store and comes preloaded with various enhancements as well as improvements to offer updated experiences with touch, digital pen, and voice inputs.
After the launch of Windows 11 in October, the new OS will be available on new PCs and a free update for compatible PCs with Windows 10. Windows Update will be notified to the users when Windows 11 is available to their existing Windows 10 PCs. Users can look for the update by going to Settings > Windows Update > Check for Updates. As existing PCs will be updated in stages, all users with Windows 10 is likely to have the new Windows 11 available by mid-2022.
