Android Studio Virtual Device on a Windows 7 VM not compatible

Question

I have a VirtualBox VM on my computer, the VM is running Windows 7 64bit. I installed Android Studio on that VM. I only have the basic Hello World application. When I try to run AVD I get this message:

Intel HAXM is required to run this AVD. Android Emulator is incompatible with Hyper-V.

Unfortunately, you cannot have Hyper-V running and use the emulator. Here is hat you can do:

1) Start a command prompt as Administrator

2) Run the following command: C:\Windows\system32> bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

3) Reboot your machine.

I tried running this command and restart multiple time, doesn't change anything.

I also tried to do some port forwarding : http://paulsdevworld.blogspot.ca/2013/06/make-android-studio-work-with-androvm.html I was unable to connect No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

I've check this question, I'm not having the same issue because OP has a android image directly in VirtualBox Test android app on Virtual Box from Android studio

Anyone knows a way to make this work or something that I could try? Feel free to ask any question.

EDIT: I installed Intel HAXM but when I try to run it I get this message

Those are my current settings, virtualization is clearly enabled. Is that the correct settings?

Is there any way to make this work in a VM?

Starting a bounty the answer doesn't need to be with Virtual Box but has to be free of cost.

I downloaded the free trial version of VMware and I manage to get it working using those settings below. I tried the exact same settings in VirtualBox and I get the Hyper-V error.

SOLUTION:

If anyone is wondering I was able to run it in Virtual Box. This is the settings I used on the AVD: Warning slow.

Answer 1

The below process works if your system supports Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x):

1. Go to BIOS using F10 on Boot-up.
2. Go to System Configuration/System Settings.
3. Enable Virtualization Technology.
4. Press F10 to Save and Exit.
5. Reboot and your VT-x should be working.
