I did face the same issue (standalone sdk manager showing that its not windows compatible).

Step 1: Open Settings -> Android SDK -> SDK Tools Tab

Select the HAXM entry (see the last entry)

It installed it successfully!!

NOTE: This actually just downloaded the installer. It did not install it.

Step 2: In order to install check the installer at following location:

Run the intelhaxm-android.exe

Install the HAXM

Step 3: Restart Android Studio
