Description

The installation instructions are not so straightforward as the user needs to have near bleeding-edge version of windows to install docker -_-

This SU issue describes the situation I found on two computers (ht @kelseygonzalez): https://superuser.com/questions/1550291/how-to-install-windows-10-home-19018-update

It appears that this release of windows has not yet been widely released, so even if people have kept up-to-date on their machines, they would not be able to install docker. I will keep this thread up to date as I find out more.

Research direction

Locate the Windows installation instructions in the lesson and compare them with the linked Super User report. Update the documented Windows and Docker requirements so users can determine whether their system is supported, then verify that the instructions accurately reflect the reported installation situation.
