“I am “typing” this out on a “Windows 11 Pro To Go” installation that I use when I want to use Android Apps on a PC... The Android E-book apps and some others are a real pleasure to use on a PC. Windows 11’s subsystem for Android is superior in many ways to emulators which do basically the same thing.”

I must try this for the few android apps I like! How do you load these apps onto windows 11? I read that MS will be stopping this? There is a download one must install I am sure.

***********Windows 11 to go on external USB NVME drive. To load android apps onto.************

I just followed directions that I found. Microsoft ended their support for Windows Subsystem for Android and the Amazon Appstore a little more than a month ago... It all still works minus the Amazon Appstore on my computers. I have been using a work around that allowed me to use the Google Appstore so none of this actually has caused any issues for me. This just means that it doesn't get any updates or security patches for the Subsystem.

It was one of the first things that I did with Windows 11 years ago. It is hard for me to believe that they stopped support for this. Unlike Bluestacks you do not have to suffer through any ads to use it.

Here are some directions that look like what I used quite a while back.

I have been a bad boy this morning... I purchased a little mini-computer from Amazon that came bundled with what seems to be a fairly capable webcam for $139.

I have experience with this generation of Ryzen processor and have found it to be more capable than the benchmarks indicate because of the very capable integrated GPU.

I am planning on adding an additional Ethernet adapter and using it with a Raid Enclosure as a fairly capable NAS.
