Let's start with what you'll need. If you've already gone through the process of getting the Amazon Appstore working in Windows 11, you can skip past this section, but note that you do need the Amazon Appstore installed. You can get the Amazon Appstore from the Microsoft Store.
As of February 2022, Android apps are available in the stable channel of Windows 11---but only in the US. If your PC can run Windows 11, you already meet the requirements to run Android apps as well. Make sure to check for Windows updates and install any that are available before proceeding.
Next, your Windows 11 PC needs to have hardware virtualization enabled. Windows 11 essentially runs Android in a virtual machine, which is why this is necessary. You can check if your PC has virtualization enabled by going to the "Performance" tab in the Task Manager. (You can press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open the Task Manager.)
If hardware virtualization isn't enabled, you may need to enable Intel VT-X in your computer's UEFI firmware (BIOS). For systems with AMD chips, look for AMD-V in the UEFI firmware settings screen.
Next, make sure you're on the latest version of the Microsoft Store. Open the Microsoft Store and update all the apps on the "Library" page.
If all of those things check out, you're ready to proceed! If you installed some updates to get to this point, it's a good idea to reboot your PC before we go any further.
We will be using a tool called "PowerShell Windows Toolbox." It contains a number of features, including the ability to install the Google Play Store on Windows 11. This tool enables a pretty simple one-click installation that doesn't require any additional software.

On your Windows 11 PC, navigate to the GitHub page in your web browser and scroll to the "How to Use" section. Copy the code listed under the "Easy Start Command" header.
Next, run Windows PowerShell as administrator.
To do so, open your Start menu and search for "PowerShell." Click the "Run as Administrator" option or right-click "Windows PowerShell" in the list and select "Run as Administrator."
Paste the code you copied from the GitHub page in PowerShell and press Enter. If it seems frozen, wait a few seconds.
