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.
