Is it still the case that you need to be running Windows Professional with Hypervisor enabled? What is the workaround for folks who either cannot alter their system settings due to IT lockdown, or for those who don't have the Professional/Education version of Windows? Assuming there is still two different products (Docker and Docker for Windows) depending on your Windows configuration, what are the differences in setup and use of the two Docker versions?
Docker has different applications for Mac and Windows and for Linux you have to install Docker demon. Installation process is quite easy. You just need to download and run the setup that's it.
The workaround is to use Docker Toolbox, as @Mahindra said. I am not sure, but I think you can achieve same things with both Toolbox and Desktop, since the main tool for Docker is its CLI. I have started using Docker recently, and in my team some used Hyper-V and other used VirtualBox, and we managed to configure Docker with success in both cases.
There are some differences between docker desktop(win 10 professional) and docker toolbox(win 7 and win 10 home).
Some differences can be inferred by understanding how it works.
