How to test Android 11 on your computer: step by step tutorial


Google announced a few hours ago the first Developer Preview  version of Android 11 , a version that arrives two weeks earlier than expected and that introduces a number of important changes in our preferred operating system.

To test Android 11 today it is necessary to have a Google Pixel 2, 3, 3a or 4 (or its XL variants), but there is also an alternative to try it, and it is on  our own computer . Are you curious to try the latest version of Android? 



How to download Android 11 on the PC: first, download the new Android Studio

Android Studio is the official Android development kit. This is the program that developers use to create applications for different Android-based systems. It is important to install this program because it  has the Android emulator  that will allow us to try Android 11 .

It is recommended that we download the  Prewiew Release ->  Canary Build 4.0  in the official Android Developers section. This version is the one that includes the latest news, Android 11 being one of them. It is important to have  at least 4 GB of space on our PC.

This version is downloaded in a separate folder, so if you already have Android Studio on your computer it does not replace your current version or affect your possible projects in development.

Unzip the folder

Here we will have a lot of files and icons. Open  studio  if your system is 32-bit or  studio64 if your system is 64-bit. If you don't know what your system is, open studio64 and if it doesn't work, try studio.

Open the virtual device manager
