Unable to use docker for windows after uninstalling toolbox - docker

I upgraded to Win 10 Pro today and decided to switch over to Docker for Windows. I uninstalled toolbox first and then installed Docker for Windows, but now when I run any docker commands, it tries to look for Virtualbox/docker toolbox stuff, but that doesn't exist anymore/won't work.
Anyone know how I can fix this?

Docker Desktop can't start, asking to update wsl, but wsl is already updated

I am unable to start Docker Desktop (windows 10).
I have installed version 4.16.3 (which claims to have this issue resolved).
After few minutes of having message "Docker Desktop Starting..." I get error that I need to update wsl - despite it is already in it's latest version.
Also I noticed that Linux distro docker-desktop was not installed.
What might be the issue? How to make it work?

Docker for windows missing quick start terminal

I installed the latest version of Docker for windows in my windows 10 machine. It seems the new Docker Desktop toolbox doesn't contain the Quick start terminal. Every documentation says to check the quick start terminal option at the time of installation. I dont see any option to check that option with the latest Docker toolbox.
Is there any way we could install Quick start terminal for windows.
Or are there any other alternate to the QS terminal. My objective is to build, tag and push / pull docker images to a gitlab registry. Powershell, command promt doesn't work because its a windows machine.
with the new Docker-for-desktop versions there's no need for the added toolbox as marked here
Legacy desktop solution. Docker Toolbox is for older Mac and Windows
systems that do not meet the requirements of Docker for Mac and
Docker for Windows. We recommend updating to the newer applications,
if possible.
You can just open any typical terminal in your OS of choice and use the docker cli if you can't remember the exact usage try docker --help 😉

Docker Desktop Installation on Windows 10 Pro machine

Could you help me to resolve below error, I get below exception while Installing Docker Software in Windows 10 Pro Machine.
I did run the Docker Desktop as admin, still face the same issue.
I can think of a two things that might be a factor.
Do you have any anti virus running?
Sometimes Windows doesn't support a specific version of Docker. Double check if your Docker version is compatible with your Windows version.

Docker for linux is giving error

I am new learner for Docker.I have a very simple question.
I want my application to work on Linux system but I am writing application in Windows.So do I need to install Docker for Windows or Linux?
If I run using Docker for Linux,i am not getting option to run in windows and it is getting failed(I understand it might be some other unrelated error) but I need to confirm if my approach is correct or not.
Am I right in installing Docker for Linux?
Also,in case I plan to move to AWS, what docker I need in that case.
Thanks
Consider docker as any software. if your OS is windows you install windows version of a software. if your is a linux distro then you install linux version of a software.
So you need to install docker for windows afterwards you can install any docker image/container you want under your operating system. Could be windows, linux or anything else.

Docker installation error on windows

I am trying to install Docker client on windows but when i start the installer i get the below pop up .
Can someone please guide me what should the solution to this issue be.
I am using windows 7 enterprise, 64 bit.
Thanks in advance.
Docker requires Windows 10. If you are using Windows 7, use Docker toolbox from the following location
https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/overview/.
As you install the toolbox, automatically the VM virtual box also will get installed. Atleast, that is what happened to me.
After installation, my docker container did not start properly.
So, I uninstalled the VM virtual box, installed it again, then started the kitematic and it was all a great flow to see my docker up and running!
