Can't install Docker : Docker Desktop requires Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise version 15063 to run


I'm new in docker using. I'm using window Home 10, version 1909, OS build 18363.720 now.

I had an issue when installing Docker. Docker Desktop requires Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise version 15063 to run. I have tried to update window and install again but it does still not work!

Solution

  • Are you using Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise? It specifically asks you for Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise. If you are using Windows 10 Home, the build version doesn't matter, you cannot use Docker Desktop.

    But there is a way to run Docker on Windows 10 Home using Virtual Box instead of Hyper V: https://www.sitepoint.com/docker-windows-10-home

    Update: Windows 10 Home from build 2004 and above now supports Docker out of the box and it's not necessary to follow any of the steps in the guide linked above.

    You can try to update your copy of Windows through Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.

    If this still doesn't update to build version 2004, or if you can't update via the built-in updater, the update can be downloaded from https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10.

    By clicking on the button marked with a red line you will start downloading an executable file (.exe) that can be executed to install the update manually:
