[Hidden-tech] Installing Linux --> Docker on Win10

[Aaron E-J]

I have dealt with this in reverse.  In my case I had Hyper-V and did not 
want it because it is incompatible with VirtualBox which I need for 
other things.  I needed to disable Hyper-V in order for VirtualBox to work.

Your best bet is to install VirtualBox <https://www.virtualbox.org/>, 
then install a full Linux VM, and then install Docker into the Linux VM.

Or just scrap Windows all together and install Linux as the main OS
