Use docker client without HyperV

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?

enter image description here


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
