Downloading WSA
Download WSA preview from here:
https://server.deltaonealpha.workers.dev/MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_1.7.32815.0_neutral___8wekyb3d8bbwe.Msixbundle
Installing WSA
Then install it using Powershell with the command:
add-appxpackage -Path "<path to the file>"
Downloading and installing app should be through amazon store but for non-US countries its not available in the preview, so you will have to manually download an apk and install it using "adb install".
Installing ADB
Install ADB as instructed here: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
Connecting ADB to WSA
Open the Windows Subsystem for Linux app and enable developer mode. An IP address and port will be shown, use this to execute the ADB command:
adb connect <IP address:PORT>
Installing with "adb install"
Now simply open Windows PowerShell or CMD and type
adb install "<path to APK file>"
That's it, and your APK will be installed, all you need to do now is open Start and find your installed app in the list!
NOTE: Make sure WSA is running. To run WSA open the app and select open "File".

This is a solid guide on sideloading WSA on Windows 11! But for those who want an easier way to sideload APKs without dealing with ADB commands manually, check out Rookie Sideloader. It simplifies the process and lets you install APKs with just a few clicks. Super handy, especially for non-US users who can’t access the Amazon Store!
