Then the other day I searched on my Win 10 PC for Power BI and noticed there were two apps Power BI Desktop and Microsoft Power BI. So I went to the Windows store and downloaded it.īut I didn't see any difference in PBI Desktop, it still required me to manually update. Which meant it would automatically update. If Microsoft can make Android viable on the PC, they’ve got a real win on their hands.A while back I saw the notice that Power BI desktop was available in the Windows store. Windows 11 is scheduled for the end of 2021, start of 2022, and if you own Windows 10 it'll be a free upgrade. At the very least, you’ll be able to get a head start by playing those mobile games that get reskinned as PC games. It took Tiny Room Stories: Town Mystery almost two years to make the leap to Steam. Sky: Children of the Light is on everything but the PC.
There are plenty of games that I’d much rather play on the PC than my phone, but they’re only available on Android. The old laptop I install random operating systems on for fun sometimes has Android on it. However it works, Android on PC is a welcome addition for me. Amusingly, to find that out, I had to sideload the Amazon app store onto my phone. For example, you can find an official Call of Duty mobile game on Google Play (free-to-play), but on Amazon’s store you’ll find “Call of Striker Zone Mobile Duty: Free Shooting Game”. It was a mess and not nearly as well stocked as Google’s own store. When I owned an Amazon tablet, I did everything I could to bypass their own store. A good place to grab something to sideload would be via Itch.io's Android section. We don’t know how exactly Windows 11 will accomplish this, but it’s good to know you can.

A Microsoft engineer has confirmed that you can ‘sideload’ apps in Windows 11, meaning you can install games and more from anywhere.Ĭonfirmation came on twitter via Microsoft developer Miguel de Icaza Thankfully, you won’t be tied to the Amazon store.
The surprise announcement last week that Windows 11 would support Android apps was tempered by fact that Microsoft is using the Amazon app store to deliver them.
