How do I access minikube docker daemon on Windows?

I installed minikube and now I want to create my docker containers, but how do I run the docker commands? I tried the following from command prompt

enter image description here

But it does not recognize docker as a command.

Also I tried from PowerShell with the same result, docker not recognized.

I currently only have minikube installed on my workstation because I was given the impression from comments to a previous question that I did not need Docker Desktop (see Unable to connect to running docker containers (minikube docker daemon))

In this SO question there is an answer that will show you 3 ways how to make Minikube and Docker work on Windows:

Scenarios are like this:

1) Use Docker, and minikube with Hyper-V (you will find instruction in an answer above) Enable Hyper-V, install Docker, use minikube with arguments minikube start --vm-driver hyperv --hyperv-virtual-switch "<created Hyper-V switch name>" In the same time you will be able to interact with Docker in normal way. Use kubectl/minikube commands for your Kubernetes cluster and Docker commands for Docker. 2) Use VirtualBox for Kubernetes and Docker toolbox for Docker minikube start --vm-driver=virtualbox

3) Use Docker for Windows and Kubernetes in Docker

I believe this will solve your issue. Please, let me know if that helped.
