I'm guessing the issue here is that your processor doesn't support Intel Virualisation or even if it support it, it's configured wrongly. Have a look at these links for fixes:

2) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20019231/vt-not-supported-when-installing-haxm

To save going through those questions just yet, if anyone is here knowing your CPU is supported and Intel VT is enabled in BIOS settings, try disabling Hyper-V: Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features On or Off > Uncheck Hyper-V. More than likely that's the reason.

I've just noticed this is tucked away at the end of Intel's installation guide under 'Tips and Tricks'; I only found after searching for 'Hyper-V' on that page. Terribly categorised if you ask me.
