How do I install and test Docker Desktop for Windows on Arm?

The current version is 4.31.0 and you can download Docker Desktop for Windows on Arm and run the installer.

Check the Docker Desktop release notes for the latest release information.

Once the installation is complete, you can test it by running docker in a Windows Command Prompt or PowerShell Prompt:

    

        
        
            docker run hello-world
        
    

You should see a welcome message similar to the following:

    

        
        Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
    (arm64v8)
 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
    executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
    to your terminal.

To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
 $ docker run -it ubuntu bash
