The home edition of Win 10 does not support virtualization but you can enable.

  1. Click on the link https://www.itechtics.com/?dl_id=80 and download the batch file that enables the Hyper-V on Windows 10 Home.
  2. Next, right-click on the batch file and select “Run as Administrator“. Keep in mind, you have to be connected to the Internet to enable this feature!
  3. Once the installation is complete, RESTART your computer!
  4. A Windows Features window will open up. Now, scroll down and enable all the checkboxes under Hyper-V, and hit the OK button.
  5. Open the Start menu and search for “Hyper-V”. If Hyper-V is not showing up in the search results, then open the Run dialog using the Win+R key combo. Now, enter virtmgmt.msc and hit Enter.
  6. The Hyper-V Manager window should now appear.

Now that Hyper-V is enabled, you may start creating your first virtual machine (VM).

Docker for Windows is available for

  1. Windows 10 64-bit professional and

  2. BIOS-enable virtualization

To run Docker, your machine must have a 64-bit operating system running Windows 7 or higher.

If you install the latest Windows 20H1 update you can install Docker Desktop on Windows 10 Home.

If you don't want to go the Hyper-V way you can use Docker with WSL2(Windows Subsystem for Linux) for Windows 10 Home.

  1. Go to Settings -> Update&Security -> Windows Insider Program and enroll for the 'Slow' track of windows insider.

  2. Enable WSL from instructions given here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10

  3. Upgrade to WSL2 from here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-kernel

  4. Download this version of Docker which supports WSL2 during installation itself : https://download.docker.com/win/stable/Docker%20Desktop%20Installer.exe

  5. Check the boxes to use WSL2 instead of Hyper-V.

First, check that your PC supports Hyper-V and you have Hyper-V enabled in BIOS. Windows Home does not allows to install some features/packages in GUI, but it's possible to add them from command line.

Make a file hyperv.bat file and run is at Administrator:

@rem Install Hyper-V on Windows Home
pushd "%~dp0"
dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\*Hyper-V*.mum >hyper-v.txt
for /f %%i in ('findstr /i . hyper-v.txt 2^>nul') do dism /online /norestart /add-package:"%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i"
del hyper-v.txt
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Hyper-V -All /LimitAccess /ALL
pause

Reboot computer after that. Then you need to trick the Docker installer to think you have Windows Pro: change your registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion and change EditionID from Core to Professional.

Instal Docker for Windows, change the registry back. And that's all.

  1. Enable from BIOS
  2. CPU virtualization is allowed only for 1 tool on Windows 10 Home. So, remove any other virtualization tool. So, uncheck even Windows Hypervisor Platform in 'Turn Windows features on and off'

  3. Disable Credential Guard as per https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/identity-protection/credential-guard/credential-guard-manage This doesn't happens when the credential helper is run in 'Administrative mode', reason being that running scripts is disabled, we need to enable it So, as per https://winaero.com/blog/change-powershell-execution-policy-windows-10/ Open 'Command Prompt' in 'Administrator' mode and type -

    cd C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0>Powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -File E:\software\dgreadiness_v3.6\DG_Readiness_Tool_v3.6.ps1 -Disable -AutoReboot

    After this, the system reboots and credential guard is disabled
