Windows Phone 8.1 Emulator not installing on my system

Question

I want to make a simple windows phone 8 app. And I have installed on my pc:

OS : Windows 8 pro
Visual studio 2013 
SDK 8.0

And when I debug my app it give error below:

Deployment failed because no Windows Phone was detected. Make sure a phone is connected and powered on.

For resolving this error, when I an installing windows 8.1 Emulator it give me error below:

This computer does not support the windows phone emulator, which require the 64-bit edition of windows 8.1 Pro and a computer that support Hyper-v,

And my system type is 64-bit OS, x64-based processor.

Kindly suggest me for resolving this issue, I am waiting for your reply. Thanks.

Answer 1

Does your computer support Hyper-V ? If it doesn't, then you can't run the emulator on your machine. According to the below Microsoft link,

Your computer’s BIOS must support the following requirements, and they must be enabled:

Hardware-assisted virtualization.

Second Level Address Translation (SLAT).

Hardware-based Data Execution Prevention (DEP)."
