Apps can't get android studio to run app in emulator

Newbie
I am learning Android App development and cannot get anything to run in the emulator.
My development PC is Windows 10
Toshiba Laptop Intel Pentium P6200 Processor 2.13 GHz
4GB DDR3

I created a simple "Hello World" app and am getting these errors"

Intel HAXM is required to run this AVD
Your CPU does not support VT-x
Error while waiting for device: Could not start AVD
 
I tried installing HAXM and got this error:
VT not supported
This computer does not support Intel Virtualization
Technology (VT-x). HAXM cannot be installed.

I looked in the BIOS for Virtualization and it is not there
 
My computer is a laptop so I don't think there are any upgraded and replacing it is out of my means at the moment.
I will look into using a real device to run apps but I don't like using my only phone to do that.

It sounds to me like your virtualisation is just disabled. The reason you have concluded "it is not there" is you are not looking in the right place. I found it under "security".

If you google a small program called "speccy" it should show you whether you system can support virtualisation and whether it is enabled or not.

Then you can find some help on youTube to enable virtualisation which does require changes to the BIOS.

It's not the fact it's disabled, it's just not there. It's already been pointed out that the Intel Pentium P6200 doesn't have VT-x in it, so ain't going to find settings for it in the BIOS. And only solution for that is a new, or more recent laptop.

Intel Pentium is a low to mid-range CPU, below the Core i5 and i7 series, which do have VT-x AFAIK. But they're above the really basic Celeron, which were often found in really cheap laptops.

You are right. Speccy shows that virtualization is not supported on my laptop

I installed Developer Studio on my work laptop and everything works fine. But I don't like using that laptop for development since it is critical for my teaching and other work.

But at least I know what the problem is now.
