Docker for Windows require Windows 10. If you use an older version of Windows like Windows 8.1, you should use Docker Toolbox instead. It's a legacy solution for older windows and mac.

For that, you will need to install VirtualBox and you need to keep in mind that docker will run inside a VM. If you start and expose a container port, you can't connect on it using localhost but, instead, the VM IP.
