In the Microsoft blog post, Woodman states only that “we look forward to continuing our journey to bring Android apps to Windows 11 and the Microsoft Store through our collaboration with Amazon and Intel this will start with a preview for Windows Insiders over the coming months”. With the lucrative holiday season ahead, Microsoft couldn’t delay without big consequences for sales of new PCs at a key selling period. As I wrote earlier this month, Microsoft has yet to test Android app support with Windows Insiders, and with PC makers needing a few weeks to evaluate and install final code on their machines, it was either going to require a delay to the operating system or shipping without it. The delay to the rollout of Android apps is hardly a shock. However, the company has also said that users can install Windows 11 on PCs that don’t meet those requirements, but those installations will be considered unsupported and may not receive updates or even security patches according to The Verge, leaving those users in an awkward limbo. ![]() ![]() ![]() Microsoft is partly sticking to its guns, insisting that Windows 11 requires a relatively recent processor and TPM 2.0 security module. The minimum hardware requirements for Windows are, frankly, something of a mess.
