Answer 1

If you don't want to go the Hyper-V way you can use Docker with WSL2(Windows Subsystem for Linux) for Windows 10 Home.

1. Go to Settings -> Update&Security -> Windows Insider Program and enroll for the 'Slow' track of windows insider.

2. Enable WSL from instructions given here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10

3. Upgrade to WSL2 from here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-kernel

4. Download this version of Docker which supports WSL2 during installation itself : https://download.docker.com/win/stable/Docker%20Desktop%20Installer.exe

5. Check the boxes to use WSL2 instead of Hyper-V.
