I'm having difficulties trying to install HAXM for my emulator in Android Studio. I have an hp2000 notebook; I updated Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Pro to activate the Hyper-V feature and I even went to system settings to enable virtualization, but am still getting "This computer does not support Intel virtualization (VT-x). HAXM cannot be installed. Please refer to the Intel HAXM documentation for more information."

My Android Studio SDK manager is showing that it's installed.

Just follow these steps:

  1. Go to Control Panel → Program and Feature.
  2. Click on Turn Window Features on and off. A window opens.
  3. Uncheck Hyper-V option and restart your system.
  4. Now, you can Start HAXM installation without any error.
