How to Sideload Android Apps on Your Windows 11 PC, Step by Step Guide to Install .apk File

Third-party emulators used to be the only way to run Android applications on Windows computers. With the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) in Windows 11, you can now install Android apps from the Amazon Appstore.

Unlike Google Playstore, Amazon Appstore has a limited number of Android applications. You also need an Amazon account in the US to use Amazon Appstore. By sideloading apps from unofficial sources, you can bypass this requirement and install any Android application on your PC. This tutorial highlights different ways to sideload Android apps on Windows 11.

To sideload apps, you’ll need to have Hardware Virtualization enabled on your PC. Additionally, your device’s region must be set to the United States. For more information on these requirements, see our tutorial on how to install Android apps on Windows 11.
