title: kubernetes installation in windows 10 failed due to virtual machine set up
body: <p>Hi I am new to kubernetes. I have read online tutorials to understand kubernetes and its benefits. To get hands on I have done a set up in my windows machine. It worked well half-way and received error while configuring kubernets VM.
  I have downloaded Minikube installers and issued following command in windows 10 power shell</p>
  
  <pre><code>.\minikube.exe start --kubernetes-version="v1.6.0"
  --vm-driver="virtualbox" --show-libmachine-logs --alsologtostderr
  </code></pre>

  <p>I have oracle virtual box already installed in my machine.Not sure whether it causes this issue.</p>
  
  <p>upon reading few other forums, i have deleted .minikube directory and reissued the same commands in windows power shell but it didnt help.</p>
  
  <p>can anyone please guide me to install kubernetes in windows 10 machine.
  I have no hyper-v in my machine(Windows home edition).</p>
