how to add windows phone emulator to the uwp project

Question

Now I'm updating someone's UWP project. I use Visual Studio 2017 on windows 10 64bit. Building is successful. But When I run this project, I got an error.

DEP6200: Bootstrapping failed.Device cannot be found. SmartDeviceException - Deployment failed because no device was detected.

I think, the reason is that I didn't use real windows phone. So that I wanted to use windows phone emulator. But I don't know how to add emulator to running option. When I created new UWP project, I could find emulators which are connect to that project.

Anyone solved this issue?
