Hi Guys,
Can you please help me with the following error in Android Studio:
Cannot launch AVD in emulator. Output: emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration! Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable. CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed
Thanks in advance.

29,119 PointsYou need to install and activate Intel HAXM in order to use emulators. First, you need to access your BIOS/Boot menu and turn on "Virtualization". Next, you need to install HAXM, which you can do either from Intel's website (easiest) or from the Android SDK Manager. If you are unsure on how to access your BIOS/Boot menu, Google "enter BIOS" along with your manufacturers name (HP, Lenovo, etc.) as it's different on different computers. It's very easy though, you just press a button when the computer boots up (usually F1, F10, F11 or another F-key).
