Please don't bother with Emulator error: This AVD's configuration is missing a kernel file which is almost 3 years old. While the SDK tools are somewhat hidden away in A.S. I have enough experience of them to know that I have the right components to launch an emulator. In theory.

I couldn't answer the original question, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26404549/this-avds-configuration-is-missing-a-kernel-file, as it was marked as a duplicate so I split my answer into a Q and A:
I've 2 other Android SDK's installed and my environment variables had previously pointed to one:
ANDROID_SDK
C:\Android\android-sdk
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT
C:\Android\android-sdk
I tried deleting these and creating a new AVD to the same effect. My %PATH% variable was mercifully free of the Android SDK.
What worked for me was restarting the AVD. I'll need to restart Android Studio if I want to see that working too, eventually.
