You would have to uninstall Docker for Windows and disable Hyper-V to run VirtualBox, but there is another way. Just having Hyper-V activated will prevent VirtualBox and VMWare from being able to start a VM (even if Docker for Windows is stopped). That’s because Docker for Windows uses Hyper-V which is a type 1 hypervisor where as VirtualBox and VMWare are type 2 hypervisors. If you’re using Docker on Windows and have Windows 10 Pro then you’re probably using Docker for Windows as it’ll provide you the best Docker experience out of the box.īut you’ve probably noticed that you can’t run VirtualBox or VMWare anymore.
Having Hyper-V installed prevents you from running VirtualBox or VMWare VMs. Updated on July 21st, 2017 in #dev-environment, #docker Docker Tip #13: Get Docker for Windows and VirtualBox Working Together Docker for Windows uses Hyper-V.
