Docker on Win 10 Home or Below

About

Docker for Win 10 Pro generally works fine out of the box.

With other versions, this is less the norm.

Docker uses Hyper-V and Win 10 home and previous versions of windows do not meet the requirements for the current Docker client. Check your version doc.

The solution for this is to use Docker Toolbox (deprecated) and disabling Hyper V in Win 10 (which uses Oracle Virtual Box instead of Hyper-V).

The recommended solution is to upgrade Windows 10 Pro, however using older versions is possible.

Another option is to use Linux. Create a bootable USB drive

Get Docker

Get Docker Toolbox

  • Disable Hyper V in Win 10 if needed (home does not come with Hyper V)
  • Install Docker Toolbox Docs - Docker toolbox download
  • Check Docker version in command with docker version to be sure docker toolbox is installed.
