Windows 11: some questions on Android mode

Hi All,
Windows 11-Pro 22H2

I can not run android mode in my Windows 11-22H2 virtual machine. So I can't test it out myself. I need an "accomplice".

I really need all the questions answered, not just the first one.

1) do I need to install Android operating system
or does it come with Windows 11?


2) do Android apps appear the same on the screen
as any other app?


3) if not, are they inside their own container?


4) do Android apps take up the entire screen like
they would on a real Android tablet? Or can
they be Windowed like a Windows app or program?


5) does the clipboard work between Android apps
and Windows apps and programs?


6) is there a shared storage space with Windows?


7) Is there a way from Windows to tell if "virtualization"
is enables? Some test. Looking in BIOS can be tricky
to do. Was that f1 or f2 or f8 or f12 or Del? Was it
a button in the side? 8)Can I download apps from the Google play store or
only the Microsoft store?


9) do you see anything wrong with these instructions? Or do you know of a better one?


Many thanks,
-T

According to those instructions you can check in the BIOS/UEFI if virtualisation is enabled.
What computer motherboard do you use?
Could you take some screenshots of the BIOS/UEFI menu options and upload them here?
There must be an option regarding virtualisation.
 
No idea. I have not been on site with the customer yet. All I know is tht it is W11. Be nice if I knew the build number too, but I will have to wait on that as well. `<win><R> WinVer` is a bit over their heads.
 
Both WSL and WSA use virtualization to. In WSA the OS is not really exposed so you don't need to worry about Android itself. The apps should appear like normal applications as far the as the user experience is concerned.
