Depending on your amd it probably doesn't have a virtualization feature. The android studio download, however, doesn't require virtualization, that is just to improve emulator performance. Again the type of processor shouldn't restrict the download and install, although it might affect performance. Hope that helps. :)

Are you certain that is the problem? I have an amd and was able to download the studio just fine.

I'm not sure but someone I know who is really good with computers told me that it could be the problem and inside the bios I can't enable virtualization and I need to do that
