Officially, it’s only available for Windows 11. But third-party developers have figured out how to install the Windows Subsystem for Android on Windows 10 as well.

While Windows 11 was released in October 2021, the Windows Subsystem for Android did not become generally available until February 2022 -- four months after the initial Windows 11 release.

In a somewhat surprising move, Microsoft announced the end of Windows Subsystem for Android that allows running Android programs on Windows 11. The plug will be pulled in March 2025.

The Windows Subsystem for Android-based devices has just shown off amazing Geekbench results, suggesting what we might expect in terms of performance in the future.

A listing for the Windows Subsystem for Android has been spotted in the Microsoft Store. It doesn’t work, however, as it’s only a placeholder.

Microsoft already has the Windows Subsystem for Linux, so why not Android, too?

Equally surprising, though, was the fact that it came with support for Android apps. The Windows Subsystem for Android allows Windows 11 users to run Android apps and games on their computers.
