I'am trying to install docker toolbox in windows 8.1 64 bit operating system. When I try to open it after installing it throws error like
Running pre-create checks...
Error with pre-create check: "This computer doesn't have VT-X/AMD-v enabled. Enabling it in the BIOS is mandatory"
how to resolve this?
Unfortunately Intel B960 does not meet the system requirments needed for hyper-v a requirment for docker for windows.
Take a look at Docker Toolbox which is for older Windows systems that do not meet the requirements of Docker for Windows.

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
I need to install Docker on my pc with Windows 10 home. I read that I can only install Docker Toolbox. Is there any way to have the latest Docker version instead without upgrading my pc to windows 10 pro?
Thanks
Update
Docker can now be installed on Windows 10 Home (version 2004 or higher).
Refer to this article for installation instructions
https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install-windows-home/
Old Answer
Docker for Windows requires Hyper-V, and Hyper-V requires Windows 10 Pro (or Windows Server). So no, you can't run Docker without upgrading.
https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/
README FIRST for Docker Toolbox and Docker Machine users: Docker for Windows requires Microsoft Hyper-V to run. The Docker for Windows installer enables Hyper-V for you, if needed, and restart your machine.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/quick-start/enable-hyper-v
Check Requirements
Windows 10 Enterprise, Professional, or Education
64-bit Processor with Second Level Address Translation (SLAT).
CPU support for VM Monitor Mode Extension (VT-c on Intel CPU's).
Minimum of 4 GB memory.
The Hyper-V role cannot be installed on Windows 10 Home.
You can now install Docker Desktop on Windows Home machines using the WSL 2 backend. Docker Desktop on Windows Home is a full version of Docker Desktop for Linux container development.
https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install-windows-home/
Install Windows 10, version 2004 or higher.
Enable the WSL 2 feature on Windows. For detailed instructions, refer to the Microsoft documentation.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
The following hardware prerequisites are required to successfully run WSL 2 on Windows 10 Home:
64 bit processor with Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)
4GB system RAM
BIOS-level hardware virtualization support must be enabled in the BIOS settings. For more information, see Virtualization.
https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/troubleshoot/#virtualization-must-be-enabled
Download and install the Linux kernel update package.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-kernel
Steps:
Installed Docker for windows here (stable)
Attempted to run: An error occurred, Hardware assisted virtualization and data execution protection must be enabled in the BIOS.
Went here the read
Made sure I have 64bit windows 10 pro and hyper-v turned on.
Made sure virtualization is enabled
Run Docker again: same error.
What am I doing wrong?

After installing Docker tools from
https://www.docker.com/products/docker-toolbox
unable to start Docker after restart. Always come with Pop-Up Box Unable to start Hypervisor. There is no option to activate Hypervisor in Laptop BIOS setup in the new HP Pro Book. Also try boot2docker same error message.
I have Docker installed on Windows 7 platform. However when I try to run boot2docker start, the console gives me:
Failed to get machine 'boot2docker-vm': machine does not exist.
Ok, so I try to initialize the machine: boot2docker init. What now happens is even though I have the ISO image on the same path as docker, it tries to download a new image (and then fails to do so).
I uninstalled both OracleVM and GIT before installing them with boot2docker bundle as advised on Docker forums, but now I don't know how to proceed.
I had the same problem on a Windows 7 64 bit system when I installed the entire boot2docker package. It seems that running the solely 64-bit based boot2docker image from a 32-bit OS image (e.g. created by Virtualbox) does not work.
The solution for me was
to activate Intel Virtualisation Technolologies in my BIOS
(Lenovo X61 for me). Note that the settings can be found either
under CPU or Security.
choose a 64 bit OS version in VirtualBox and boot in with the
image obtained by boot2docker.
In case you're trying to do this now
For Windows 10 64-bit: Pro, Enterprise, or Education (Build 15063 or later), follow the instructions to install Docker Desktop here https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/.
If you have Windows systems that do not meet the requirements of Docker Desktop for Windows(in my case Microsoft Windows 10 Home Single Language), you can install Docker Toolbox by following the instructions here https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/toolbox_install_windows/.
boot2docker does not support sharing directories on Windows IIRC. The way I run Docker on windows is:
install VirtualBox
install Vagrant
create a directory (let's say c:\vm\docker)
download this Vagrantfile and save it under c:\vm\docker\Vagrantfile
open a DOS command prompt
go to the directory cd c:\vm\docker
start the VM vagrant up and wait for it to install, start up and get provisionned
connect to the VM vagrant ssh
play with docker docker images, etc
Also you might want a real console instead of using the DOS command prompt:
install Git Bash for Windows
install Console
setup Console to use Git Bash (see this guide)
use Console to run the vagrant up and vagrant ssh commands
