Answer 1

I've been trying to track this down myself for a while (very similar setup, but Windows 10), and haven't seen anyone offering a solution beyond "You know HAXM's just for Intel, right?" either. The best info I've found so far is that the "Individual" edition of Genymotion (free for personal use) seems to be the best bet for emulation on AMD chips, and, almost hidden, a mention in the official docs that suggests Android Studio only works with SVM on Linux. I'm not even sure I'm reading the latter right, given the complete lack of references elsewhere to what should be an important fact, but it could be why that error is showing up – though if that's the case, it's definitely poorly worded.
