Windows 11 anticipates its arrival: it can be downloaded from October 5, but without support for Google Play apps

It was just at the beginning of the summer when we learned of the arrival of Windows 11. An announcement of a new version of the operating system that we recently saw as, according to some rumors, it could be brought forward a few weeks. Something that Microsoft has finally confirmed, although with an important nuance. Windows 11 will arrive ahead of schedule and It will do it at the beginning of October, but without support for Android applications.

And we have already seen how to use applications designed for Android it was a very strong bet and one of the pillars on which Microsoft supported part of the presentation. Now we know that to take advantage of these improvements we will have to wait, but not so everyone can try Windows 11 … all compatible equipment.

Before, yes, but without the Android apps

Those responsible for Microsoft have revealed that this operating system will be available in its final version on October 5. And along with this great news, another less positive one: input, Android applications will not be able to be used on the platform.

Through a publication in the Windows blog, Microsoft has confirmed both aspects. Windows 11 will arrive in its final version on October 5 and will also do so free of charge for all compatible computers that are using Windows 10. Of course, it will arrive pre-installed on the equipment that goes on sale.

As is usual when talking about Microsoft and updates, the rollout will be gradual. One of the differences with macOS and what causes until mid-2022 this update has not been offered to all teams that can receive it.

We will see all the improvements and news that can now be tested in the Insider Program version, but what will not arrive in that first final version is the support of Android applications. In Microsoft they say that it will come, but that it will do so later and Before reaching the general version, it will do so to those who are part of the Insider Program. But without giving dates, so we have to wait.
