I’m running Windows 11 without TPM, so this is a bit of a nonstarter, but for people who like the idea, I’m using LDPlayer, it’s pretty great.

AFAIK if you’ve already installed Windows 11, you should be able to run Windows Subsystem for Android?

Huh! They must’ve changed it. I recall that if you installed without TPM or SecureBoot, they’d cut off access to those features.

You can install windows 11 without those features in a number of ways, I used rufus to create a boot USB that doesn’t check.

It’s worth a try! I’d be curious to hear if it works for you.

Covenience. Most people really don’t care about that as long as they can get whatever Android app they have on their computer. I say this as a Waydroid user.

True enough. I've been a Windows user when it was convenient, but since about 1.5 year ago, it stopped being convenient, so I switched to Linux full time.
