title: How can I run Android emulator for Intel x86 Atom without hardware acceleration on Windows 8 for API 21 and 19?
body: <p>I have not enabled Hyper V or hardware acceleration and don't want to either.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way that I can start android emulator for Intel x86 Atom Without hardware acceleration on Windows 8 </p>
  
  <p>I have created AVDs with every combination possible and each one has failed to  start the AVD emulator instance , throwing the same error when starting </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware
    acceleration! Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and
    usable. CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>OR is it that, the images given for Intel Atom 86 and 64 cannot run without HARDWARE ACCELERATION AND hyper V for API 21 and 19</p>
  
  <p>I have found lots of similar question and read almost all documentation, but it is not clear if they can or cannot run without hyper v and hardware acceleration, hence this direct question</p>
  
  <p>How do you test on android in such cases ?</p>
