The company has built a dedicated subsystem within Windows 11 to enable it, which is available across all platforms – every Intel, AMD and Qualcomm-powered device will be supported, provided it’s compatible with the new OS. Microsoft is also trying to make it easier for developers to create mobile apps for Windows 11. Tools for debugging and testing early versions of apps are also being previewed. However, it’s not clear when we’ll see support for other third-party app stores such as the Epic Games Store. It’s also difficult to predict when the feature will be fully rolled out in an update to all Windows 11 users. Hopefully we won’t be waiting until 2022, as has been rumoured.
