I was facing this problem before and wrote on msdn and was urged to uninstall all the components and I did that.
Again installed Visual Studio Community 2013 and I am facing this problem.
Windows Phone Emulator requires Hyper-V. Your computer is missing the following pre-requisites requied to run Hyper-V:
Windows 8 Professional (64-bit)
I am using hp Envy m6 with AMD processor and 6GB RAM (Factory installed Windows 8.1 Professinal). I believe my PC meets the requirements specified by Microsoft. And I have enabled virtualization in the BIOS settings.
PS. Thank you stackoverflow for not allowing me post a snapshot of the problem!

I have Microsoft visual studio 13 in System which has Operating System Windows 10. Which windows driver kit shall I install to add c/c++ diver in program?
You install the driver-kit that is suggested in the Manual for C/C++-extension in TwinCAT:
http://download.beckhoff.com/download/document/automation/twincat3/TC1300_C_EN.pdf.
Read chapter "Installation "Microsoft Windows Driver Kit 7 (WDK)".
Even though it specifically says it's for Windows 7, it's working for Windows 10 as well. Note that this is only required on your engineering machine, you don't need to install this on the PLC.
I'm trying to setup for Xamarin development, but can't find Visual Studio Emulator for Android and Windows 10 Mobile Emulator (Creators Update) under Individual Components ( those items in red in the screenshot below). All I can see the first 2 under the Emulators list Google Android Emulator(API Level 23) and Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM).
My computer specs:
8GB RAM
64-bit Windows 10 Home
Note*: the screenshot is from the instructions that I found online, not from my computer.

The Visual Studio Emulator for Android is using Hyper-V which requires Windows 10 Pro. But you can use the Google Android emulator which is using the mentioned Intel HAXM.
I tried to modify my VS enterprise 2017 15.2 (26430.13) and checked the Individual components – Emulators, the options are the same as yours, please check this following screenshot. The photo you shared is a previous VS 2017 version and looks different with the latest version, you should not follow it.
Since your OS is windows 10 Home version, you need to upgrade to the professional version, please refer to this: System Requirements for the Visual Studio Emulator for Android and it requires the 64-bit version of the Pro edition of Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 or higher to use the VS Emulator for Android.
I have Windows 10 Pro x64 installed on my machine with Visual Studio community as well, however I need Windows Phone emulators for Xamarin testing. Visual Studio keeps telling me:
This computer does not support Windows Phone emulator, which requires the 64-bit edition of Windows 8.1 Pro and a computer that supports Hyper-V.
Spec of my PC:
AMD Phenom II X4 810 Processor (Supports SLAT)
8GB of RAM
Gigabyte M720-US3 Motherboard
Award modular BIOS v6.00PG
So I tried to enable Hyper-v for my computer by enabling virtualization in BIOS. Then I went to the Control panel and tried to enable Hyper-v there, but it seems like I can't. The tooltip says I cannot install hyper-v and that the firmware disables support for virtualization.
Hyper-v grayed out
I also let a little AMD utility check for support for hyper-v and this is the result:
I should enable AMD-v however I didn't find any option like that in my BIOS. Only thing called simply "virtualization" I enabled
I don't know what else I could do for it. Any idea? Thank you very much!
i would be developing windows phone app that would fit into windows phone 8 OS. I have a laptop which has windows 7 OS. Now the question is should i have to upgrade to windows 8 or is there a workaround?
Current Laptop - Windows 7 OS,64 bit, 4GB RAM
To run the Windows Phone 8.x SDK on your PC, you'll have to upgrade to Windows 8. If you're looking to get started with the latest 8.1 SDK, you'll need the Windows 8.1 update with Visual Studio 2013 Update 2.
To run the emulators, you'll need to have Hyper-V active on your machine as it is required. If your machine doesn't support Hyper-V, the only options are to upgrade your device or run a Virtual Machine hosted in the cloud. Microsoft Azure provide great hosting for developer VMs at a relatively cheap cost.
The other option is to buy a Windows Phone 8 device as you don't require Hyper-V to debug your applications straight to a device. At the cost of some mid-range device, you'd be better actually getting a device.
I hope that helps :)
Is it possible to install "Windows Phone 7 developer tools" on "Windows 7 Starter"?
Does the WP7 emulator run after install?
I have a old laptop Sony Vaio which has been upgrade into W7 Ultimate and VS2010 pro, but the graphic card is too old and WP7 emulator won't run.
Can anyone have try to run the WP7 emulator on a Win7 Starter edition?
I'm afraid the tools are not supported on Windows 7 starter edition.
From the download page:
System requirements
Supported Operating Systems: Windows 7, Windows Vista
•Windows® Vista® (x86 and x64) with Service Pack 2 – all editions
except Starter Edition.
•Windows® 7 (x86 and x64) – all editions
except Starter Edition.
You might get VS to run, but I think you'll hit problems with the emulator as it runs in a VM, which Windows 7 Starter won't support.
I can't comment on using Windows 7 starter edition, however if the machine you are planning on using is an Intel Atom based netbook I think you may find that you struggle to run Visual Studio and the WP7 Device Emulator simultaneously.
I was certainly unable to the last time I tried on an Atom based machine, even with 3GB of RAM.
