Windows 10 has the potential to run most Windows programs ever made. Even programs coded for Windows 95 or 98 may work, though often not without Windows compatibility mode. You can't download Google Play apps to the Surface Pro by default, but you can run Android apps on a Surface Pro by using a third-party Android emulator. Windows 10 lacks this feature, but Surface Pro devices eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 11 may gain it after the upgrade. Many app developers don't offer apps on the Windows Store, instead making them available to download online.
You'll likely have to download at least a few apps from outside the Windows Store. However, it's a good idea to check the Windows Store first.

Android apps in Windows run under the WSA — essentially an Android virtual machine in the background of the operating system. Remember when people first benchmarked Windows 10 running virtualized on M1 Macs and said it was better than running it natively on a Surface Pro X?
It is true that this is a different situation, but the Android virtualization on Windows 11 seems pretty impressive, if not close to the ARM-based app emulation Apple has accomplished on its own hardware. The secret sauce? Microsoft says it partnered closely with Intel. When it comes to overall performance, Android apps feels like they run on the Surface Pro 8 just like Windows apps do.
Everything works fine. With Windows 11 being as optimized as it is already thanks to the way it handles foreground tasks and CPU processes , Android apps feel right at home.
