My Android Studio emulator keeps showing an error message

Question

emulator:

WARNING: could not load skin file 'C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Android\sdk/C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio2\plugins\android\lib\device-art-resources/nexus_6/layout', using built-in one

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!

The above is the error message that the emulator keeps showing. What do i do?

Try changing the emulator skin. Use a Nexus 5 or Nexus One instead — Rosário Pereira Fernandes, Feb 24 '16 at 15:15

To address the ERROR (not the warning):

You need to install the Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (Intel® HAXM). You can download it here or install it via your Android SDK Manager under Extras.
