On the next screen, a warning window will appear on-screen capture: put the check mark on Do not show again and click on Start now. If we have done everything correctly we will see the screen of our Android phone projected on the computer, so that we can also use TikTok on the PC.
If we want to project the screen without using the USB cable, all we have to do is open the ApowerMirror app on the phone, press the M-shaped icon, wait for the network scan (we will have to leave the PC program open in the foreground) and, as soon as the name of the app installed on the PC appears, we confirm on it to start the projection of the screen.

On Windows 11 we can also install Android apps, using APK files for installation. To use TikTok on PC with this method, download the TikTok APK from the APKMirror site, install the ADB tool and Windows Subsystem for Android (obtainable through Windows Insider Program) on our PC and finally download the WSATools app, available for download from Microsoft Store.
After installing WSATools on our computer, start it from the Start menu, press the Select an APK button, select the previously downloaded TikTok APK file and wait for the end of the installation. Now we will be able to use TikTok as if it were a native PC app, but only if we have Windows 11 installed as an operating system.
Conclusion
With the methods seen in this guide, we will finally be able to use TikTok on PC as if we were on a normal mobile phone. The best method is definitely BlueStacks, which emulates the operation of Android and allows you to have TikTok in a few simple steps, but we can also use phone mirroring or direct installation of APKs on Windows 11 as an alternative method.
