Hi, I need a help, I tried to install Android Studio to start working on developping apps, but when I tried to make an emulator (virtual device), it doesn't work, and I had this warning " Your CPU doesn't support NX ".
My ask is to know what is mean NX, and why my CPU doesn't support it ? ( I have intel i3 M380)
See e.g.
NX bit - Wikipedia
PAE/NX/SSE2 Support Requirement Guide for Windows 8
noting
Try this free program to confirmPhysical Address Extension (PAE)
The processor must be running in Physical Address Extension (PAE) mode to use the NX processor feature. PAE is a processor feature that enables x86 processors to access more than 4 GB of physical memory on capable versions of Windows. The Intel Itanium and x64 processor architectures can access more than 4 GB of physical memory natively, and do not provide the equivalent of PAE. PAE is supported by 32-bit versions of Windows running on x86-based systems only.
When DEP is enabled on a system that has a processor that supports the NX feature, PAE is automatically enabled.
NX stands for No Execute, a security feature that is supposed to make it harder for malware to run.
I believe that Intel refers to it as the Execute Disable Bit. It's present on an I3-380M:

It may be possible to turn it off in the machine's BIOS. I don't know what "Speccy" would indicate in that case.
Since you haven't told us what laptop you're running, it won't be possible for us to check its available BIOS settings.
