### Windows Hyper-V Alternative
The [Visual Studio Emulator for Android](https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/features/msft-android-emulator-vs.aspx) is a free android emulator that is hardware accelerated via Hyper-V. It doesn't require you to install Visual Studio at all.
To use it with react-native you just have to add a key and value to your registry:
1. Open the Run Command (Windows+R)
2. Enter `regedit.exe`
3. In the Registry Editor navigate to `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Android SDK Tools`
4. Right Click on `Android SDK Tools` and choose `New > String Value`
5. Set the name to `Path`
6. Double Click the new `Path` Key and set the value to `C:\Program Files\Android\sdk`. The path value might be different on your machine.
You will also need to run the command `adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081` with this emulator.
Then restart the emulator and when it runs you can just do `react-native run-android` as usual.
