It’s quite easy to install Docker on Windows. Just download installer and follow instructions.
You might encounter following error message when starting Docker image: VT-X is not available.
The cause of this failure is enabled Hyper-V Windows Feature. We described this issue in previous article.
Here is the quick fix.
Search for “windows feature” and open “Turn Windows features on or off”
Search for “Hyper-V” in Windows features and uncheck it.
Click OK and reboot the machine.

Same solution can be applied when VirtualBox does not offer to create x64 virtual machines.
It is also possible to deactivate Hyper-V without uninstalling it: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/SwitchEasilyBetweenVirtualBoxAndHyperVWithABCDEditBootEntryInWindows81.aspx
