Unable to start AVD on Windows 10

Question

I have Android Studio 1.5.1 running on Windows 10. I´m trying to run an AVD but it throws the following error:

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!

So I tried to install HAXM but when I launch the installer got the error:

This computer does not support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x). 
HAXM cannot be installed.

I already check on my Windows Features and Hyper-V is not enabled.

Please address me what should I do in order to run AVD.

Regards,

Make sure Intel Virtualization (VT) is enabled in your BIOS. Also ensure whether your antivirus isnt blocking installation of haxm.
