This PowerShell script checks if virtualization is enabled on your computer, installs WSL 2 and sets it as the default version, downloads and runs the Docker Desktop installer, and checks that Docker is working by running docker info command.

• Windows 10 Enterprise, Pro, or Education
• 64-bit Processor with Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)
• CPU support for VM Monitor Mode Extension (VT-c on Intel CPUs)
• Minimum of 4 GB memory

1. Download or copy the script to your computer and save it as dockerinstallwin.ps1.
2. Open a PowerShell console as Administrator and navigate to the directory where you saved the script.
3. Run the script by typing .\dockerinstallwin.ps1.
4. Follow the prompts and confirmations on the screen. The script will ask you if you want to proceed with each step and will display informative messages and error messages if any.
5. The script will reboot your computer if virtualization is not enabled in BIOS. You will need to enter BIOS and enable virtualization manually. The script will print the instructions on how to do that before rebooting.
6. The script will open the Docker Desktop install for Windows web page from Docker documentation for your reference.
7. The script will exit when it finishes all the steps or encounters an error that prevents it from continuing.
