Error: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration

Hi, when trying to run my fist application I get the above error and the following:-

Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed.

I have downloaded the 'Intle x86 Emulator Accelerator(HAXM installer) from the SDK Manager and still I get the error.

I have seen some threads which mention 'Hardware Virtualization' being enabled but have been unable to find how to do this. Also I have seen mention of disabling 'Hyper V' yet when I go to do this it is not showing as a feature I can disable. Is this because I am running Windows 10 Home and not Pro? If so is there a way of getting Android Studio to work on my version of Windows?

Many thanks

Andy

Hi,
You may need to enable Hardware Virtualization from BIOS. Another problem may be that your CPU does not support HW virt.
Hope this was helpful.
