I believe this is my first question - as such I apologize if I'm making mistakes or if this is posted incorrectly.

I am attempting to run Android Studio on Windows 8.1. Android Studio works but I was unable to run my first test app due to an error with HAXM not being installed.

Error in Android Studio when 'Run' is clicked:
emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!

Through the SDK Manager I 'installed' HAXM.
I understand that this only means HAXM is downloaded and still needs to be installed. HAXM files were placed into the 'extras' folder within the 'Android' 'sdk' folder. I then attempted to run the intelhaxm-android.exe executable. Initially I had to enter BIOS and enable Virtualization as it was defaulted to 'disabled'. I enabled the virtualization, rebooted twice and attempted to run the haxm installer again.
Now I am receiving a different error.

Error from HAXM Installer:
This computer does not support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x). HAXM cannot be installed.
Pleaser refer to the Intel HAXM documentation for more information.
HAXMInstallerError

From everything that I can find this computer is capable of supporting Virtualization (I am running Windows 8.1 with an AMD processor). Also, as I understand, an Intel vs AMD processor shouldn't make a difference for HAXM to operate?? I downloaded Crystal CPUID to help troubleshoot but, unfortunately, I don't even know how to read the results.
I'm at a complete loss here. I searched far and wide before posting. ANY help is appreciated.

  • Downloading Genymotion worked and I can now run the emulator. However, I still am unable to install HAXM. So this answer is more of a workaround. BUT, the problem is happily resolved so no worries :) – PSFord Nov 03 '15 at 03:12
  • downloading the `Genymotion` is not way for solving this problem . if you can solved install `HAXM` ,update your question . – SAYE Mar 08 '17 at 07:21
  • haxm is *only* intel. you shouldn't need to install it for amd. i found that turing on windows virtualization and disabling hyperv works in the latest 3.6.2 – Erik Aronesty Jun 09 '20 at 18:40

You need to enable Intel Virtualization Technology through your Bios
