How to run android emulator on old hardware?

Question

Mobile development

Struggling with react-native. I start the emulator from the console, it seems to start, but then an error pops up:
"Cannot find connected devices.
Emulator start failed with: Cannot run the app in the selected native emulator. Try to restart the adb server by running the `adb kill-server` command in the Command Prompt, or increase the allocated RAM of the virtual device through the Android Virtual Device manager. NativeScript CLI users can try to increase the timeout of the operation by adding the `--timeout` flag."
Can this be fixed and how? Iron is a little old, maybe because of this?
