Microsoft has released guidelines to install mobile or Android apps on a Windows 11 PC. Microsoft is suggesting a recommended 16GB of RAM to run mobile apps on a Windows PC, while 8GB of RAM is the minimum required amount. After installing the Amazon Appstore, users need to find the Windows Subsystem for Android settings app that will appear in the Start menu and their app list. Microsoft has confirmed that it will shut down its Outlook Lite app for Android in the coming weeks, with full service ending on May 25, 2026. The lightweight email app, designed for lower-powered Android devices, will lose all mailbox access after the deadline. Microsoft has already stopped new installations of Outlook Lite months ago and has been gradually phasing it out. The company is now directing users to switch to its main email app, Outlook Mobile, which will become the standard experience across both Android and iOS. Microsoft said that emails, calendar entries, and attachments will remain accessible once users log in through Outlook Mobile using the same account.
