First step

# Installing Docker on Windows 10

* First make sure Windows is up-to-date.
  * In the Windows search type "Windows Update" and select `Windows Update setting`
  * You should see a green check and “You’re up to date”.  If not click “Check for updates”.  You will 
  need to **repeat this process until you no longer have any updates to install**. 
* Next install [WSL2](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10)
  * From the Windows Search Type "powershell" then right-click on `Windows PowerShell` and then `Run as administrator`.
  * Click `Yes' to allow PowerShell to make changes to your device.
  * In the Administrator: Windows PowerShell window run (copy and past) the command "wsl --install -d Ubuntu".
  * Next enable the Virtual Machine Platform. 
  * In the Administrator: Windows PowerShell run (copy and past) "dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart".

Thank you @Henok123, Windows users will no doubt appreciate it !

Could you please open a pull request in the developer docs repository with your additional instructions?

I think it would make sense to have a separate sub-section for Windows users in the “installation” page, and modify the “Important! We recommended Windows users to run…” message to link to it.
