Required version 2.1.0.5 of Docker can't be installed on Windows 10 Home, what other versions of it can I install on my Win10 Home OS?

Node Operators troubleshooting
1

I am in the phase of installing Docker → Docker - Node Operator (storj.io) in Windows 10 Home OS. The advised software version of Docker to install is 2.1.0.5 but when I downloaded and started installing the software, it failed because it says “Docker Desktop requires Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise version 15063 to run.”

I am only using Windows 10 Home. May I ask if there are other versions of Docker I can install/use in Windows 10 Home so I could set my node properly?

I don’t have Windows machines, but a cursory search came up with these instructions.
Maybe it’ll help?
