Error: your processor does not support the necessary functions (vt-x or svm)

Question

I keep getting the error noted above when I try to start the virtual device.

My processor supports virtualization and is turned on.

I launched the virtual device on eclipse before, but for some reason Android Studio is hard for me.

My processor is an AMD FX 6350 3.90 Ghz six-core processor running under Windows 10.

Answer 1

I had the same problem. The Android Studio emulator will not work on Windows with an AMD processor. The error message is misleading, as it indicates that the problem is with the processor. But it is in the troubleshooting message: "Windows / OSX computer with Intel processor."

Solutions can be installed on Linux and run Android Studio (which may have their problems), using a physical device to test or use slow ARM images.

Answer 2

Most virtual devices require an Intel processor, but some do not, and you can create a virtual device that does not require an Intel processor. Just follow the link:

AVD Manager (upper right purple phone) → Click Create Virtual Device → Choose phone size → Go to x86 Images and select your API version → Check if it says: “Consider using a system image with Google APIs to enable testing with services Google Play. " (Bottom right) → Download the selected version → Click “Next” and complete the final settings and click “Finish”.

That should work. There's one big minus: it will be about 10 times longer than a device that requires an Intel processor. Therefore, I would recommend using a real device.
