You will neeed to share more information. HTTP 500 is a serverside error code, meaning something actually responded. Unless the error code was returned by the API server of Docker.

Share what you exactly did to get this error message. What commands you ran for example.
Don’t forget to use code bblocks for shared commands and logs as described herE: How to format your forum posts

Just read the error message:

It seems there are some file from an old MySQL database and you run a new version, multiple major versions ahead. Either delete the files (if you don’t need the data) or run major versions (v6, v7) one after another in hope the data is migrated every time to the newer version. The provided link has probably more details.

I have uninstalled all the old MySQL files and cleaned up the registry. Pulling MySQL again still has the same error

6

This message clearly indicates it found some old files.

TL;DR;

Open an admin shell on Windows and then run

        net stop winnat
        net start winnat

This reset the reserved port but is a temporary solution, on next reboot the problem can raise again, for a permanent solution continue to read

Explanation

The problem is due to how Hyper-V work.

Hyper-V reserves some (large number!) random ports for its purpose, you can specify which ports can be reserved (ipv4 and ipv6) with commands below (admin mode)

netsh int ipv4 set dynamic tcp start=49152 num=16384
netsh int ipv6 set dynamic tcp start=49152 num=16384

Then reboot the machine and verify

netsh int ipv4 show dynamicport tcp
