Question

Android newbie. My processor is AMD, not Intel, so I can\'t open the emulator in Android studio.

This answer has the comment: \'You can run the ARM (non Intel) emul

Answer 1

I am using the AMD processor and had the same issue. To solve this go to control panel-> turn windows features on or off -> check the hyper-V checkbox and click Ok and restart your computer. Now you can create virtual device

Answer 2

I have a Ryzen 2600X and I am able to run the emulator without problems. Here are the tweaks I made:

*NOTE: You don't need the beta version of Android Studio or Android Emulator.

1. Go to the MB bios and turn SVM on (CPU Virtualization).
2. In Windows right click Windows Button => Select "Apps and Features" => "Programs and features" => "Turn Windows Features on and off"
3. In the displayed list select Hyper-V checkbox == Make sure the subfolders are all selected. When prompted to restart, restart the PC.
4. After restart and update instalation screen you are back in Windows and you should be able to run the Emulator.

**Note: I have selected x86_64 and plain x86 images(both API 28) from the x86 Images tab and they work just fine.

***Note: Might also check for Android Licenses if errors pop up, I had an issue because of this while using Flutter, maybe it's related to that.
