Cannot get my Android Device to start and I am pretty sure it has something to do with JAVA

I am just starting out and I am pretty sure I followed the videos directions exactly. However once tried starting the android device all I got was this..

C:\Users\david\Downloads\android-studio\sdk\tools\emulator.exe -avd Android442 -netspeed full -netdelay none com.intellij.execution.process.ProcessNotCreatedException: Cannot run program "C:\Users\david\Downloads\android-studio\sdk\tools\emulator.exe": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified at com.intellij.execution.configurations.GeneralCommandLine.createProcess(GeneralCommandLine.java:252) at org.jetbrains.android.util.AndroidUtils.executeCommand(AndroidUtils.java:459) at org.jetbrains.android.facet.AndroidFacet$1.run(AndroidFacet.java:592) at com.intellij.openapi.application.impl.ApplicationImpl$8.run(ApplicationImpl.java:419) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:471) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:262) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) at com.intellij.openapi.application.impl.ApplicationImpl$1$1.run(ApplicationImpl.java:149) Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Users\david\Downloads\android-studio\sdk\tools\emulator.exe": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:1047) at com.intellij.execution.configurations.GeneralCommandLine.startProcess(GeneralCommandLine.java:261) at com.intellij.execution.configurations.GeneralCommandLine.createProcess(GeneralCommandLine.java:248) ... 9 more Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified at java.lang.ProcessImpl.create(Native Method) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.<init>(ProcessImpl.java:385) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.start(ProcessImpl.java:136) at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:1028) ... 11 more

It is a whole lot of stuff I dont understand yet but from what I read I think it is telling me JAVA is not installed correctly?

Save me.
