Run Android studio emulator on AMD processor

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

Recent updates enabled computers with AMD processors to run Android Emulator and you don't need to install ARM images anymore. Taken from the Android Developers blog:

If you have an AMD processor in your computer you need the following setup requirements to be in place:

• AMD Processor - Recommended: AMD® Ryzen™ processors
  
• Android Studio 3.2 Beta or higher
  
• Android Emulator v27.3.8+
  
• x86 Android Virtual Device (AVD)
  
• Windows 10 with April 2018 Update
  
• Enable via Windows Features: "Windows Hypervisor Platform"
  

The important point is enabling Windows Hypervisor Platform and that's it! I strongly recommend reading the whole blog post:
