Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) ''Not compatible with Windows''

According to the instructions, I need to install the component pointed above, but it looks like I'm not going to be able. Could someone help me out, please? Thanks.

Go to http://software.intel.com/en-us/android. Choose the Intel HAXM installer package for your platform. Extract the installer and follow installation instructions for your platform. OR Start the Android* SDK Manager. Under Extras, check the box next to Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM). Click the "Install package…" button. You will still need to run the installer from the "extras" directory to finish installation. Run the installer inside the <sdk install location>/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager/ directory

This is what I get through the Android Studio installation: ''This computer meets the requirements for HAXM, but Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) is not turned on. HAXM cannot be installed until VT-x is enabled. Please refer to the Intel HAXM documentation for more information.''
