Cannot start docker after installation on Windows

Question

I am a new to Docker. After the installation of Docker Toolbox (OS: Windows 10) I run Docker Quickstart Terminal and in the console I see this:

Running pre-create checks... Error wirh pre-create check: "Hyper-V is installed. VirtualBox won't boot a 64bits VM when Hyper-V is activated. It it's installed but deactivated, you can use --virtualbox-no-vtx-check to try anyways" Look like something went wrong in step 'Checking if machine default exists'... Press any key to continue... 

What did I do wrong? All checking of system and install steps are taken from here.

Thank you very much for your help!

Answer 1

Hyper-V and VirtualBox are conflicting each other.

You can either uninstall Hyper-V or run

docker-machine create -d virtualbox --virtualbox-no-vtx-check test

Answer 2

Docker supports Hyper-V as the driver

You need to perform the following steps:

• Create a virtual switch, refer to this article on how to do that

• Create a docker machine using that network switch and hyper-V driver.

  docker-machine create -d hyperv --hyperv-virtual-switch "name of the virtual switch created above" default
