This will restart the docker service again (I will not restart Windows, only the docker service).

We will be using community edition (CE) as this is a free version.

Docker Edge Install It On

You can use this edition to install it on your personal computer to learn and build application around it.

But over the years, Docker has become the industry standard for building container based application using Kubernetes for orchestration.

I can feel the performance issue after I run Docker on my 8 GB RAM Laptop.

You can still work, it wont create major problems.

I think, on a 16 GB RAM machine, you should not feel the performance issue.

You will have to create an account to be able to download it.

You will see Windows UAC User Access Control asking for permission to allow the program to run.

If you dont have internet connection, installer will move on to the next step.

Wait for the process to complete and you will see the configuration screen.

Second option is if you want to use Linux or Windows Container.

Ideally you can run Linux container on Linux OS and Windows container on Windows OS.

This could be a problem in development machines if you want to develop Linux container based application on Windows.

Docker Edge Windows 10 Host Runs

This VM runs Linux container and your Windows 10 host runs Windows Containers.

You cannot run both Windows and Linux Containers at the same time.

That is why Docker allows you to switch between Windows and Linux container.

With this you can run both Linux and Windows Containers side by side as a part of the same Docker Installation for Windows.

If you hover your mouse over it, it will say Docker is Starting.

You will see a warning asking your permission to start the docker service.

Click Start to continue and wait for docker service to start.

Enter the docker hub credentials you have created and click on sign in.

This is optional but it is highly recommended that you do it.

Click on Settings, under General Tab, uncheck, Start Docker when you login.
