Android web and app developer Danny Lin (kdrag0n) has decided to show off Windows 11 Arm running in a virtual machine on his Google Pixel 6. The phone was running Android 13 Developer Preview 1 update.
Apparently, Android 13 Can Run Windows 11 But Would You Do It?
You can check out the screenshot below.

He also showcased a number of Linux distributions that could boot up on the device. If you are wondering how it is possible, then you should know that Android 13 on the Pixel 6 does support new virtualization. Google seems to be doing a lot of work when it comes to having a better virtualization framework so it can run better on other devices. There is no denying that Windows 11 running on Android 13 and a Pixel 6 is impressive but we have to tell you that for a common user, it might not seem like a suitable thing to do, in the first place. Still, if the tech bug in you is restless, you can go ahead and start tinkering, as well.
