Android Studio doesn't show x86_64 as option for any virtual device

Question

I'm very new to Android development. I've just downloaded Android Studio and and starting my first app. I'm trying to use the Virtual Device Manager to create a new virtual device. The tutorial I am following is telling me to pick a device with an x86_64 architecture. Having picked the Nexus 5x phone, there is no option for any x86_64 images.

I see the different API levels as options, but they are all x86.

Why might this be?

Answer 1

you need to select very next tab i.e x86 Images to generate x86_64 images. check below image
