A Batch Script for installing Hyper-V and Containers in any Windows 10 Edition

This is a script that I had written to install and enable these 2 features on any Windows Edition so you won't have to install a bunch of stuffs just to install Docker.

Usage

Download the file batch file in this repository or create your own with this content:

:: Hyper-V installation
@echo off
dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\*Hyper-V*.mum>hyper.txt
set "prefix=dism /online /norestart /add-package:^"%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\"
for /F "tokens=*" %%A in (hyper.txt) do (
    %prefix%%%A^"
)
echo N | dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Hyper-V -All /LimitAccess /ALL
:: Containers installation
dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\*containers*.mum>containers.txt
for /F "tokens=*" %%A in (containers.txt) do (
    %prefix%%%A^"
)
echo N | dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Containers -All /LimitAccess /ALL

pause

Run the .bat file with Administrator.
There will be 2 prompts asking you to restart the computer, just press N so it won't restart, you can restart manually after the installation is completed.

(Optional) For Installing Docker Desktop

To install Docker Desktop, you have to do some tinkering in Windows Registry.

Run regedit.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion and find the Edition ID value. Set its value data to Professional.

Now you can install Docker Desktop on your Windows 10 Home Single Language Edition without hickups
