I am kinda new to Android Studio & stuff. So today, I was installing the Android Studio with the SDK Manager. All was going smooth until an error came up which says:
Unable to install Intel HAXM
Your CPU does not support required features (VT-x or SVM).
Unfortunately, your computer does not support hardware accelerated virtualization.
Here are some of your options:
Use a physical device for testing
Develop on a Windows/OSX computer with an Intel processor that
supports VT-x and NX
Develop on a Linux computer that supports VT-x or SVM
Use an Android Virtual Device based on an ARM system image (This
is 10x slower than hardware accelerated virtualization)
I've attached a pic of my system specs. Can someone please throw some light on this issue?
Thanks
It is because you had not intialize virtual technology in your device.You Need to go in BOOT Option before starting WINDOWS OS and enable VT-x from there>
The option of enabling Virtual technology is putted in different option depends on device manufacturer
Edit: Android Studio emulator won't run on Windows with an AMD processor. The error message is kind of misleading, as it suggests the problem is with your CPU. But it is within the troubleshoot message: "Windows/OSX computer with an Intel processor". Basicallly, that means it is not going to work properly in your current setup. Either try installing Linux and running Android Studio on that (which might come with its own issues), using a physical device for testing or use the slow ARM images.
You are using an AMD processor. SVM is AMD technology and VT-x is Intel technology. So you won't be able to get VT-x to run, but SVM might be possible.
As another poster had suggested, virtualization may have been disabled in the BIOS. There may be an option to enable virtualization. It does however seem to happen that virtualization is activated in the BIOS and Android-Studio does not recognize that. I have not figured out how to fix that either.
You could use the emulator with an ARM image, which will be very slow. Alternatively, you could use another emulator that is not integrated into Android-Studio.

I tried to install xamarin in my pc but it is showing me this error when I am trying to install HAXM.
I looked up online and found some solution but my processor says virtualization not supported.
how can I use xamarin?
Intel HAXM isn't required to use Xamarin. It is required to use some hardware-accelerated emulator images but you can just stick with the classic ones, which are slower but work too. Just skip the installation of Intel HAXM.
In some cases it is required to enable Vt-x in the BIOS. The Intel Pentium B960 does not support it so it's not an option for you.
HAXM isn't required by the Xamarin platform tools but is used for the accelerated Google AVD emulator x86 images. It's also noteworthy that it's only available for supported Intel CPUs.
You also need to ensure that Hyper-V is disabled in Apps > Turn Windows Features On of Off dialogue:
Looking at your second screenshot it looks like virtualisation may be disabled in your BIOS. Some manufacturers require you to turn this on manually.
Restart your computer and press the key stated on boot to enter the BIOS (usually Delete). Look for a setting there that may be listed as “Intel Virtualization Technology,” “Intel VT-x,” “Virtualization Extensions,” “Vanderpool,”
Once you have enabled this you should be able to install the HAXM driver.
I would definitely recommend installing the HAXM driver over using the older ARM emulator images which are extremely slow in comparison to the x86 counterparts.
I've got an Intel Pentium CPU B960. Doing some researches I've found out that my cpu can't support virtualization technology, so I can't enable Hyper-V. You certainly know that the abilitation of hyper-v is necessary to run emulators on PCs, (like virtual box for operating systems).. In particular I need to test my wp apps, using visual studio, and my question is.. Is there a way to test wp apps with a cpu like mine?
Sorry for my English, I hope you'll understand. Thanks.
You should be able to debug your app on a windows phone. The only emulators available require hyper-v
Emulator not running
I am using windows phone sdk 8.0 but I am unable to run emulator in visual studio 2012, is there any case to run it,
I checked my machine and its SLAT capable...
I tried using various links provided but IT would be great help if any ne give me a direct solution, I check the Hyper-v also not enabling in the windows turn on and off features.
You probably forgot to enable in the BIOS:
Hardware-assisted virtualization.
Second Level Address Translation (SLAT).
Hardware-based Data Execution Prevention (DEP).
or you don't have:
4 GB or more of RAM.
64-bit version of Windows 8 Pro edition or higher.
Based on the wording of your question I'm guessing you have a problem with enabling Hyper-V. Even if your computer is SLAT capable, you still need to enable it along with DEP and hardware-assisted virtualization in the BIOS like Goran said. This procedure is slightly different for AMD and Intel computers. The full information is here in the "Enabling BIOS settings required by Hyper-V" section.

Also just to be sure you don't actually need 4gb of RAM :). I only have 3.
IF you have gone through this whole procedure, sometimes you will still get an error that you are not part of the local Hyper-V administrators group. Just click retry and enter the admin password and everything should be ok.
I installed my .net stuff recently on a Mac, i.e. preinstalled a version of Windows 7 before using Bootcamp. Does anyone have an explanation, why the Windows Phone 7 Simulator is so slow, compared to a Simulator installed on a 'regular' Windows system when deploying a target onto it?
Performance overhead might be caused because of the non-nativity of the hardware platform you are running it on. The emulator itself has a set of requirements - if these aren't met then you should expect serious drops in performance and stability (in case it starts).
When you're comparing the performance "Regular Windows", do you mean on another machine (PC)? If so, it could be down to hardware differences - (Graphics card, processor speed, less RAM, slower hard disk).
It could also be down to drivers - I don't know much about the Mac hardware, but it's possible Windows drivers aren't as good for hardware that's more commonly used by Macs.
I'd like to ask anybody who has built a virtualized VS2010 environment in VirtualBox or VMware, which one was able to work out of the box without too much tweaking? Or both need workarounds to get stuff working?
Both are fine as long as you install the respective tools and drivers provided for the guest OS
If you're using VMWare Workstation, you can leverage even more out of the environment by installing Visual Studio on the Host PC, and using the Guest VM for debugging, if your application crashes you can actually rewind back to before the crash and step through your code with the same heap and stack before it crashed!
Basically, I suggest going with VMWare Workstation. It's pretty cheap (assuming you get paid to program) and has many, many awesome features that you'll come to love. If you're a hobbyist/student programmer however, you'll likely find VirtualBox to be a little more functional than the free VMWare Player.
As far as performance goes, Intel and AMD both have shipped chips with hardware virtualization since 2005/2006 respectively. This is called VT-x or AMD-V, and often has to be enabled in the bios on older machines.
Basically this means that your BIOS handles Memory and I/O virtualization on this chip, while specialist drivers (e.g. VMWare Tools) are installed to improve graphics and mouse performance - effectively this means the resulting VM has near native performance with minimal overhead.
Hope that helps!
You can work with a VS2010/Windows virtualized environment with no problems.
I've worked with such combination and I had no problems. Both VMWare and VirtualBox are stable so far since years and Windows OS virtualization works properly.
Obviously, you can have performance loss, because a virtualized OS has more bottle necked access to resources than a host one, but current CPUs from Intel and AMD have advanced virtualization instruction extensions which accelerates virtualization operations.
So... Just go ahead!
I don't know your requirement but there is also a great alternative using Win 7.
You can create a vhd file and boot on the vhd file.
A few steps more, you can create a base vhd file with everything you need, mark it as readonly and create as many differential disk as you want.
The drawback of this method are these ones :
it's a bit tricky to create the base and diff disk, because you have to do it in the setup console of windows setup (but google can help you)
there is a small performance impact on the disk I/O (but lower than the visualization environment)
you can run only one system at a time. In fact, nothing disallow you to install a virtualization software
you can't have your "host" and it's potential tools (corporate email, etc.)
but at least, the performance will be greatly better than a virtualization software.
