We’ve come a long way from thefirst appearancethat WSA (Windows Subsystem for Android) made on the latest Microsoft-designed operating system.
Users were absolutely infatuated with the thought of sideloading android apps to their Windows 11 devices, ever since the idea was first brought into the discussion, prior to the OS launch.

Wondering what all this costs and what kind of financial benefits the Redmond-based tech giant gets? Read about it in the latestquarterly income report.
Before we conclude this article, we have to also remind you you will start to bebombarded with upgrade notifications if you still haven’t moved on from Windows 8.1.
