Configuring VM Acceleration on Windows

Virtual machine acceleration for Windows requires the installation of the Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (Intel HAXM). The software requires an Intel CPU with Virtualization Technology (VT) support and one of the following operating systems:

Windows 7 (32/64-bit)
Windows Vista (32/64-bit)
Windows XP (32-bit only)
To install the virtualization driver:

Start the Android SDK Manager, select Extras and then select Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager.
After the download completes, execute
/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager/IntelHAXM.exe

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete installation. After installation completes, confirm that the virtualization driver is operating correctly by opening a command prompt window and running the following command:

sc query intelhaxm

You should see a status message including the following information: SERVICE_NAME: intelhaxm

   ...
   STATE              : 4  RUNNING

   ...

To run an x86-based emulator with VM acceleration:

If you are running the emulator from the command line, just specify an x86-based AVD:

emulator -avd
