Description

Hi, please indicate me which is latest version supporting w7 since from now I need to run an image on this OS version, and I was trying with the binaries linked here: https://download.docker.com/win/static/stable/x86_64/ i know the oldest docker-17.06.0-ce.zip but likely there is a more newer version to use instead on this repo. Thanks

That page links to https://download.docker.com/win/static/stable/x86_64/ which shows all available versions; 17.06 is the oldest package listed there; 28.0.1 the latest.

I'm not sure if this would run on Windows 7 though , which I don't think ever was supported by Docker

Thanks, I downloaded the oldest one and it ran, so it seems it does, I assume there's no clarity though on which is newest version that works on W7

The docker CLI (which is only the CLI client binary) probably would be able to work on older versions of Windows, but the daemon may require Windows features that are either not supported, or not fully supported on those versions. For the daemon, I think (but need to double-check) the current minimum is V19H1 https://github.com/microsoft/hcsshim/blob/d7e384230944f153215473fa6c715b8723d1ba47/osversion/windowsbuilds.go#L44-L54
