Windows 11 has a special program that allows users to run Android applications on Windows called the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA). Initially, it was cataloged with a lot of decent features, but recently Microsoft pushed an update. Certainly, Microsoft updated WSA to Android 12.1. As you know, Microsoft started testing WSA a while ago.
It means this is only available for Windows 11 Insiders, certainly on the Beta or Dev channel. So we have studied it and prepared an article about it. Which we will let you know how to download the Windows Subsystem for Android 12.1 (WSA) on any Windows 11 version.
