Docker on Windows is a little bit different than on Linux. Because Docker runs using features of the Linux operating system which not supported by Microsoft Windows. To run Docker on windows 10, Docker Toolbox will create a Linux virtual machine in VirtualBox and all containers will be created inside the virtual machine.
In this tutorial we will learn How to Install Docker on Windows 10 using the Docker Toolbox. You can also use following guide to install docker for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2016.
Download Docker Toolbox for Windows 10 / 7 / Server 2016
Go to following URL docker.com/toolbox and download the Docker Toolbox for Windows 10.
Install Docker Toolbox on Windows 10
After download is finished, run the setup file and install the docker toolbox with default options.
Open Docker Quickstart Terminal
From Windows 10 start menu launch the Docker Quickstart Terminal. The First time, it will run the initial configuration and will create the default virtual machine for the Docker Engine.
Once it is done, you can manage docker from Windows using Quickstart Terminal, Windows CMD, or PowerShell.
To check the Docker version Type:
docker versionNote that Docker Engine is running inside a Virtual Machine also called as ‘Docker Host’ in Windows. If you open VirtualBox you will see a Virtual Machine called ‘default’.
We can manage the Virtual Machine with docker-machine command.
To get information about machines, Type:
docker-machine lsTo Stop default machine, Type:
docker-machine stop defaultTo start default machine, Type:
docker-machine start defaultRun Hello World Docker container on Windows 10
To test Windows Docker Engine, let’s run a simple hello-world container on docker.
docker run hello-worldDocker will download the hello-world Docker Image and start a new container using the hello-world image. If successful you should see the «Hello from Docker» message as shown in the following image.
This confirms that your Docker installation on Windows 10 / 7 / Server 2016 is successful.

Description
Docker Toolbox is an excellent tool for organizing and managing Docker activities on a personal computer. It offers a great range of features and cross-platform functionality that can be tailored to the specific needs of the user. The combination of composing, machine controls, and other modules make it easy to set up and manage Docker activities. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comprehensive tool for Docker activities.
There was a download of Docker Toolbox 1.10.2 on the developer’s website when we last checked. We cannot confirm if there is a free download of this software available. We recommend checking the downloaded files with any free antivirus.
This free PC software was developed to work on Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 or Windows 11 and is compatible with 64-bit systems. This free program is an intellectual property of Docker. The most popular versions among Docker Toolbox users are 1.9, 1.8 and 1.1. Docker.exe is the default file name to indicate this program’s installer.
From the developer:
The Docker Toolbox is an installer to quickly and easily install and setup a Docker environment on your computer. Available for both Windows and Mac, the Toolbox installs Docker Client, Docker Machine, Docker Compose (Mac only), Docker Kitematic, and VirtualBox.
You may want to check out more software, such as Word Recovery Toolbox, Circle Dock or Docker for Windows, which might be similar to Docker Toolbox.
