Installing Docker on Windows 10 Home

Thank you hessi9!

With your tip, I was able to install the latest version of Docker on windows 10 Home:

1- I just used your * .bat script to install the Hyper-V components

2- After to install the last version (with .exe file and not need to use an old .msi modified file), I just had to temporarily modify the windows registry to validate the prerequisites:

Change in \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion :
EditionID: Core --> Professional
ProductName: Windows 10 Home --> Windows 10 Pro
(Not sure “ProductName” it’s necessary, I think only the “EditionID” key is used)

After installing docker, remember to restore the original keys !!!
