Docker is just amazing with flexibility we get to not worry about setting up the environments for our application.

Download docker for windows.
So with Windows we can use hyper-V and get containers spawned in minutes.
Here is how we do it.
Make sure you have Hyper-V enabled on windows if not go to turn on windows feature and turn this feature On. Once this is done with restart.
Use Hyper-V Manager for Windows to create a Virtual Switch
Now use the following commands to create the docker containers
docker-machine create -d hyperv --hyperv-virtual-switch "Primary Virtual Switch" default
this will create a VM, you can see this with Hyper-V manager or
docker-machine ls
once the machine is created you need to set some of the machine details in Environments Variables
to list the variables use
docker-machine env default
Now set the env vairables as below using bash
eval $("C:\Users<username>\bin\docker-machine.exe" env default --shell bash)
No go ahead an use an existing docker images to test
docker run -it hello-world
docker run -it supertest2014/nyan
** CTRL + C is come out of it
