How to install any Android APK on Windows 11  No ADB commands required Technology has improved a lot recently. One of the greatest additions to the pack is some exciting news. You can now install android applications (APKs) on windows 11.   Thanks to the latest Microsoft operating system, you can install apps like WhatsApp or android games that require more graphics power. If you follow around and keep up with apps like WhatsApp, you would agree with me, currently you can only use services like “WhatsApp web” to link your main device to a web browser …basically it is just mirroring the app on other devices.  However, you can now install your desired apps on the PC.  Before we proceed, our tutorial will require us to put together several tools.  1.

Compressing pictures in a Microsoft word document

These days organizations and institutions rely much on evidence based data. Which means every activity carried out has to end with a written report. Keep in mind, a very good report has a couple of pictures in it.  Now that we have established a few facts, the major focus of this article, lies on the pictures. A picture could be more than 30MB depending on quality and the device used to capture the event. For instance, lets assume this event to have over 10 pictures to be included in a report. This barely tells us our document could be more than 300MB. A word document weighing 300MB lol. This is very problematic, because at this point, one won't be able to email this report. What is needed here is some simple compression. The pictures need to be compressed during the time the report is being edited or formatted.
