Step 1. Enable App Developer Mode and Install WSL

You might have heard of developer mode, beta, or released edition of an open system, especially with Windows editions. However, there is also an option that is specific to the application and that is developer mode. By default in Windows 11, it is disabled. If you want to install the Google Play Store on Windows 11, you need to enable app developer mode.

  1. To activate it, search in the start menu search box for “developer mode”.
  2. Under Security and Privacy, you need to enable developer mode.
  3. Ignore the warning and enable developer mode.

After enabling developer mode for apps, the next step is to install the Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 11. To install the WSL in Windows 11, run PowerShell as administrator, then type the following command and wait for it to be installed. .

After downloading the files, be sure to extract them wherever you want, but remember that at least 2 GB of storage is required for the Android Subsystem for Linux.

After extracting the WSA package, copy the downloaded Kernal and navigate to the WSA package directory > Tools and paste it. This way you will replace the pre-existing kernel.

Copy and Replace Kernal

It’s time to install the Android Subsystem for Linux, to install it run powershell as administrator. Next, copy the path to the WSA package directory that was just extracted a moment ago, into the PowerShell-like CD, then paste the path you just copied, and hit enter.

If you don’t know how to get the path, right click on the WSA package directory and choose copy as path, then paste into the powershell.

Navigate to the WSA package directory using PowerShell

Now you need to paste the following command in the Powershell and hit enter.
