Emulator I can use without HAXM?

Tried to run Fun facts but am getting another error: (thanks Jon for fixing my previous one)

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!

Apparently my computer cannot support the HAX module so... is there a way I can use an emulator? I googled around and found that the "default" emulator works without Hax but I'm not understanding how I can do that from the SDK manager since my button in the tool bar just takes me the settings menu and not to the manager like Ben's does in the video

In the emulator list on the right side are "Actions" and you can edit the emulator settings by clicking the pencil. From what I understand, if you don't have HAXM you need to use an "arm" image instead of an "x86" for the CPU/ABI type.
