  <p>Enable VT-x in your BIOS security settings, ensure that HAXM is installed properly. Try disabling 3rd party security software if the problem still occurs.</p>
  
  <p>Things I have tried:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Installed the HAXM installer on SDK Manager</li>
  <li>Went to Extras -> Intel -> Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and run the file named "intelhaxm-android.exe". But getting error message as "Failed to configure driver: unknown error. Failed to open driver."</li>
  </ol>

  <p>I am using:
  Android Studio 3.5 on Windows 7.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Could you kindly let me know that Windows 7 supports Android application development using Android Studio?</li>
  <li>Could you kindly let me how this issue can be addressed?</li>
