Docker Desktop requires Windows 10 Pro, does not work in Windows 10 Home about dangerzone HOT 6 CLOSED

Do you have Windows 10 Home? It's possible that Docker Desktop just isn't supported on Home.

But wouldn't that be a strange constraint for the said purpose of dangerzone, making it inutile for a great swath of it's possible users?

How can people with Windows 10 Home use Dangerzone?

The latest version of Docker uses something called Hyper-V, which is available on Windows 10 Pro but not Windows 10 Home.

Setting up an older version of Docker with Docker toolbox would probably be too complicated for non-technical users.

Perhaps the easiest thing to do is to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro or purchase a license for $99 if your device allows it. 🤔

Thanks Theodore. You're right. Hyper-V is on every 64-bit versions of Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Education. Thanks, also, for the legacy Docker link.

Sadly I think dangerzone just has to require Windows 10 Pro.

Here's an update on compatibility with Windows Home:

• Docker Desktop is available on Windows Home with WSL2: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install-windows-home/
• WSL2 requires the latest Windows version (2004 or build 19018), which can be found here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
• Information on how to set up WSL2 can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
• Dangerzone detects that Docker is installed, but does not properly detect when it is running: #89
