Unable to install docker on windows 10

Docker Desktop
1

I am trying to install docker on my window 10 pro but I get the below error. I have 64 bit machine with Hyper V running. Appreciate any help in this regard.

Docker for Windows requires Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise version 10586, or Windows server 2016 RTM to run

Are you sure, you have win 10 pro or higher?

What does this powershell command return?

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem | % Caption

3

getting same issue with window 10 pro.

What does

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem | % Buildnumber

say. It needs to be >= 10586

5

Oh, its less than that. 10240

Run Windows Update, or get your system administrator to update your system to a more recent version

I get the same trouble :

Release seems OK :
PS C:\Users\jfarnold> Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem | % Buildnumber
10586
PS C:\Users\jfarnold> Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem | % Caption
Microsoft Windows 10 Professionnel

Install message :

Hello,

I’ve got the same issue.
I think it’s an issue with the display message. The documentation (https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/#what-to-know-before-you-install) clearly states that the minimal version needed is 14393 now.
It’s seem to be new with the last version.
Thus, I went to get an old release (https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/release-notes/#docker-community-edition-17091-ce-win42-2017-12-11-stable), took the one from the 6th october and it installs fine.

Hope it helps you.

I am also getting an install fail (installer hangs with no error message) from the .exe at https://hub.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-windows (Stable Version). My Power shell shows:

Hyper V is running. This is a reinstall. I previously had Docker installed, but had to reinstall due to some instability.

Versions from 2.1.0.0 are marked deprecated for Windows 10 Build 14393 according to Docker docs.

I could able to install 2.0.0.3 in my PC with Windows 10 Enterprise Build 14393.
