Step 1: Install WSATools

To install the WSATools on Windows 11, use these steps: Once you complete the steps, the tool will install, allowing you to sideload virtually any Android app on your Windows computer.

If the app doesn’t work, you can still sideload Android apps using the manual approach, downloading tools, and running commands.
