I want to install Docker Desktop to my computer. My operating system is Windows 10 Enterprise 14393.0. But version 18363+ is needed to install docker. I googled the issue and most of recommendations were to install docker toolbox. However, Toolbox is not available right now. In this case is it possible to install docker to my computer? If yes, how can I do it? Thanks in advance.
You can continue to use Docker Toolbox, you can find the binary here: https://github.com/docker/toolbox/releases
It will use an old version of docker and it's really not perfect, but if you can't update your Windows, it's the only way to have a not so old Docker.
The Docker Community Edition 2.0.0.3 have Docker 18.09 and the last Toolbox version have Docker 19.03.
You should be able to install Docker Community Edition 2.0.0.3 which you can find here.

I downloaded a stable build from this location - https://download.docker.com/win/static/stable/x86_64/
I have extracted the folders in it, but still I am not able to run basic Docker commmands like docker --version or docker info.
If anyone can help with this?
I am trying to know the best way to run Docker in Win 10 machines that dosn't have too many resources.
I am runing Docker using the docker for windows and things run quite good but I wonder if it will be better specialy about symlinks issues and resources hunger if i run Docker inside the new Ubuntu on Windows. https://www.microsoft.com/es-es/p/ubuntu/9nblggh4msv6?activetab=pivot:overviewtab
When you try to install Docker in Ubuntu for Win a message shows advising to use Docker for Windows instead.
Any thoughts out there ?
I have a problem when installing a Docker Desktop 2.3.0.3
"Installation failed: one prerequisite is not fullfilled"
Docker Desktop requires Windows 10 Pro/Enterprise (15063+) or Windows 10 Home (19018+).
My Computer System Specification:
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Version: 10.0.10240 Build 10240
RAM: 8Gb
I have tried manually Install Hyper-V and Containers in my Computer, but still failed to install the desktop docker.. Anyone can help me? Im need your help.
You need to install Windows 10 Home 2004 build which was released on May 2020, you can use Microsoft's update assistant to manually get the update if it's not showing up for you on Windows.
Get it here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
You may want to try Docker Toolbox
Docker Toolbox is an installer for quick setup and launch of a Docker
environment on older Mac and Windows systems that do not meet the
requirements of the new Docker Desktop for Mac and Docker Desktop for
Windows apps.
The actual required Windows version is greater than what it says in the installer GUI.
It might be a typo! and according to Docker this has happened before:
Docker actually requires Windows build xxxxx or greater - we're
working on the typo in the installer gui, but you'll need to update
your Windows to proceed. (Jan 8, 2018)
Just Update Windows and the problem goes away.
If you cannot update the system use choco
Install following the official Сhocolatey documentation: https://chocolatey.org/install
After installation, run the command choco install docker-desktop or follow the official installation documentation https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/docker-desktop
My laptop came with Windows 10 Home, which does not have the HyperV feature. I would like to use docker-machine with the virtualbox driver, which should technically be possible without HyperV. But I can't install Docker in the first place because of missing HyperV. Is there a way around that?
Update I found Docker Toolbox! The documentation states that it is a legacy solution though.
you could install the linux subsystem on your windows machine:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
i think this will allow you to install docker, and as long as you have a bash window open, the docker engine will remain active
EDIT: Docker for Windows is now available (without HyperV), this will run in the background and would probably be better
Docker is giving me a message "A Docker for Windows update is available, but your version of windows isn't supported anymore".
According to Docker docs: The current version of Docker for Windows runs on 64bit Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise and Education (1511 November update, Build 10586 or later). In the future we will support more versions of Windows 10.
According my system about page: I have Windows 10 Pro, 64bit, version 1511, build 10586:1511.
Based on that info, I should have current version.
Is the docker information I have wrong or is there another problem why I cannot get docker to update?
Thanks
Matt
We updated the doc. Sorry, effectively we stopped supporting build 10586 in september, you will need to update to windows build 14393 at least to install Docker For Windows.
(Alternatively you can use Docker Toolbox on windows)
