- https://docs.docker.com/desktop/faqs/windowsfaqs/ - Yes, you can run VirtualBox along with Docker Desktop if you have enabled the Windows Hypervisor Platform feature on your machine.
If your are running Windows under VM (ESXi, VMWare, VirtualBox) - nested virtualisation should be enabled. Don't forget to enable VT-d in the BIOS of host PC also.
VirtualBox:
- Enable PAE/NX
- Enable Nested VT-x/AMD-v
Also take into account that Home Editions of Windows is not supported Hyper-V feature, and you should upgrade to Pro.
Windows Powershell as Administrator (Win+X):
DISM /Online /Disable-Feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform
DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:Microsoft-Hyper-V /All
Ept (SLAT) is not supported inside VM, Coreinfo seems shows the same. That's why Hyper-V VMs inside VirtualBox doesn't work.
