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.
