Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA)

Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA)

There are two methods of installing Windows Subsystem for Android on your PC. Whilst the Official Method is the easiest, it does not get updates very often and does not support Windows 10, like with the WSABuilds Method. In the end, it is up to you, the end user, of the method that you choose.

Official Method:

Windows 11 Only

Installation

Download and Install Windows Subsystem for Android from the Store.

Changing region

If your region doesn't have WSA in the Microsoft Store, you can change the region to get it.

Select Start → Settings → Time & Language → Language & Region.
Under Country or Region, select your new region. (Recommendation: US)
You can switch back to your original region at any time.

WSABuilds:

Windows 11 and 10

Run Windows Subsystem For Android on your Windows 10 and Windows 11 PC using prebuilt binaries with
Google Play Store (OpenGApps/ MindTheGapps)
and/or
Magisk or KernelSU (root solutions) built in.
