Visual Studio Android Emulator couldn't install

Question

I should install VS Android Emulator but I can't. Because VS Android Emulator doesn't show in installer. I use Macbook Pro that installed Windows 10 Education and it support VT. Also I has installed Hyper-V and I can start virtual machine. I has tried for VS 2015 Community and Enterprise but it hasn't emulator. What can I do to install VS Android Emulator and What is system requirements?

Edit:
I upgrade Windows to Enterprise edition and Android Emulator is working. I think Windows 10 Education Edition is not fine for Hyper-V.

Answer 1

The VS Emulator for Android requires Hyper-V, which is only available in certain versions of Windows 10. Windows 10 Home and Education editions do not have Hyper-V, so you'll need Windows 10 Pro or greater to use the emulator.

Answer 2

The VS Emulator for Android does not work on Windows 10 (for me).

My advice is do not worry because there are much better options. I use Genemotion & VirtualBox with Hyper-V disabled and it is great. Also, the Google Android emulator with HAXM is great.

Google emulators include two versions (with and without Google APIs). And I've been able to successfully install Google Play services in Genemotion on 4.4.4 hosts.

Therefore, either the Google or Genemotion options are extremely more useful than Microsoft's VS Emulator for Android on Hyper-V (even if it worked on Windows 10).

Answer 3

Try installing the emulator by itself from this link:
