You can install VMWare Workstation (v15.4 or earlier) and Docker on the same computer, but they can’t be run at the same time due to VMWare and Hyper-V can’t be run at the same time. Docker depends on Hyper-V.
To run VMWare Workstation, turn off Windows features “Virtual Macine Platfrorm” and “Microsoft-Hyper-V-All” and then restart computer.
PS C:\> Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "Microsoft-Hyper-V-All" -NoRestart
PS C:\> Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "VirtualMachinePlatform"

PS C:\> Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "VirtualMachinePlatform" -All -LimitAccess
