VMWare and Docker on Same Windows 10 PC

This is now possible after Windows 10 May 2020 Update (Build 19041) with WSL2

• Install WSL 2 Linux Kernal
• Turn on Virtual Machine Platform Windows Feature
• Hyper-V, Windows Hypervisor Platform and Windows Sandbox should be turned off
• Restart your PC
• Set Default WSL version to WSL 2 by Running wsl --set-default-version 2 on PowerShell

Now you can use Docker, VMWare, Intel HAXM (For android emulator) at the same time if you want.

VMware and Hyper-V are both a Hypervisor, so each wants to control exclusively the virtualization features of the CPU, resulting in that both cannot be setup on the same computer at the same time.

The only solutions I can see are:

• Install VMware only, then create a Linux VM and run Docker inside, or
• Install VMware together with the older Docker Toolbox on Windows which does not use Hyper-V and so there is no conflict
• Install one or the other, uninstalling the one you are not using at the moment.
