1. Check whether the Windows environment supports docker
Open a command line window and execute the "winver" command.
Windows environment Docker must be 64-bit, Home or Pro 21H2 or higher, Enterprise or Education 21H2 or higher.
2. Start Hyper-V
Hyper-V is a Microsoft virtual machine that comes with win10, so you can enable Hyper-V through the "Settings" of the control panel: 1. Open "
Control Panel" -> "Programs" -> "Start or shut down Windows Function".
2. Check the Hyper-V option and click "OK":
Win11 cannot find Hyper-V because the home version does not support it because the home version does not have a virtualization function. If you want to enable this feature in Win11 Home Edition, you need to install the component manually.
Open Notepad, copy and paste the following script into a text file, save it as win11-home-hyperv.bat, and run it as an administrator. After the command is finished, press the "Y" key to restart the computer as prompted.
pushd "%~dp0"
dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\*Hyper-V*.mum >hyper-v.txt
for /f %%i in ('findstr /i . hyper-v.txt 2^>nul') do dism /online /norestart /add-package:"%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i"
del hyper-v.txt
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Hyper-V-All /LimitAccess /ALL
3. After the installation is complete, restart the computer
. Open the Task Manager, select Performance, click CPU, and check whether the computer has enabled virtualization support. If virtualization is not supported yet, restart and enter the BIOS to enable VT to support CPU virtualization.

Docker application and data default location settings/changes
If possible, applications (software) and data (image containers) are placed on the solid state drive.
The Docker Desktop application is installed in [C:\Program Files\Docker] by default. The installation location cannot be customized during installation. Use directory links to install the application to other disks:
# 管理员身份运行CMD
# 安装时存放docker应用程序的文件夹
MD "E:\Docker\DockerApp\Docker"
# 在E盘里新建Docker文件夹并链接到C盘
mklink /J "C:\Program Files\Docker" "E:\Docker\DockerApp\Docker"
Similarly, the two directories under the default storage location of user image files and container data files [C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Docker\wsl] cannot be customized. As the number of images and containers increases, it will be seriously occupied. C drive space, use directory link to install the application to other drives:
# 管理员身份运行CMD
# 存放用户镜像文件及容器数据文件的目录
MD "E:\Docker\DockerData\Docker"
# 创建E盘Docker数据到C盘的链接
mklink /J "C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Docker" "E:\Docker\DockerData\Docker"
Note: When uninstalling docker, the link will be deleted together, so you need to create a new one when reinstalling.
Docker application installation
Download it from the windows-docker official website (recommended)
and install it directly.
After the installation is complete, you need to restart the host.
After the restart is complete, start docker and click "Accept". 
The installation is complete.
