The new Microsoft Store is your single trusted location for apps and content. Watch, create, play, work, and learn – all through the Microsoft Store. It’s been rebuilt for speed and features an all-new design that is beautiful and simple to use.

Microsoft will be bringing all the Android apps on Amazon’s Appstore (currently nearly 500,000 of them) to the Microsoft Store. This includes Disney Plus, TikTok, Netflix, Pinterest, Uber, and more. Although it’s a lot of apps, it’s won’t be close to the number of Android apps available on the Google Play Store (around 3.5 million).

Why Windows 11?

Security. Windows 11 raises the bar for security by requiring hardware that can enable protective features. The combination of these features has been shown to reduce malware by 60% on tested devices.

Reliability. Windows 11 has been shown to achieve a 99.8% crash-free experience in Microsoft’s testing.

Compatibility. To guarantee compatibility with the latest and greatest apps, it’s best to be on the newest OS.

How to prepare for the Windows 11 upgrade

Here are some tips to help you prepare for upgrading to Windows 11:

  • First, check if your PC is compatible with Windows 11! You can use Microsoft’s PC Health Check app to test your computer’s compatibility. The app is not available yet, but it will be released soon.
  • It is recommended to use Trend Micro Cleaner One Pro to ensure that your device and its storage space are fully optimized and in tip-top condition before upgrading. Cleaner One Pro also helps stabilize your system, clean up junk and cached files, and remove invalid registry entries.
