- Check your system have Intel® VT-x Technology.
- If yes then goto bios settings and turn it on.

2Like each of these answers say (in slightly different ways, but this one seems best) - this is NOT Operating System depedent, but it CPU processor dependent (must be running Intel) – Booger Dec 31 '16 at 14:34

The posted link didn't lead directly. Can be downloaded from here: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-intel-haxm – Kanchu Sep 21 '17 at 02:34
I did face the same issue (standalone sdk manager showing that its not windows compatible).
Step 1: Open Settings -> Android SDK -> SDK Tools Tab
Select the HAXM entry (see the last entry)
It installed it successfully!!
NOTE: This actually just downloaded the installer. It did not install it.
Step 2: In order to install check the installer at following location:
Run the intelhaxm-android.exe
Step 3: Restart Android Studio

Because it is not compatibility with Windows, it depends on your CPU (every windows > Windows 7 is compatible but as name says, it is intel so I wouldn't expect anything on AMD CPU) but you have to check in your BIOS if there is option named: Intel Virtualization Technology.
If there is not, you can't emulate anything
If there is just turn it on

First verify that you have Intel® VT-x Technology enabled in the BIOS.
Then download and install HAXM from the link below.
