Try to add Windows support
See original GitHub issue@filipkowicz mentioned in #46 that the windows VMs have HAXM installed. Since windows VMs are way cheaper than macOS VMs for paid users, being able to run this action on windows will be a huge win for those users.

Doesn’t look like it. There are two comments that refer to virtualization issues:
https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/183#issuecomment-675026289 https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/1481
We’re definitely out of luck. I ran the Android -accel-check command on a windows vm and got this: “Android Emulator requires an Intel processor with VT-x and NX support. (VT-x is not supported)”

All the related issues are closed so I assume there’s no plan to enable virtualization for windows.
