"Windows Home Docker Desktop requires Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise version 15063 to run." So says the Docker Installer however, the Docker forums beg to differ

Hi!
We have now released a version of Docker Desktop Edge that allows users of Windows Insider Preview (Win Home 19018 or higher) to use Docker Desktop with WSL 2. If you are trying this out and have issues feel free to drop issues on the for-win Github Repo!
Thanks Ben

+1 for the script enabling mention.
I don't know why, but on my machine the containers script keeps on looping forever... Any ideas how to fix this?
