I have an assignment that I have to download either Docker or Virtual Box and acquire screenshots. My professor recommended to use Docker if you have a 4GB computer. I installed it and an error message pop up stating I do not have either Windows Education or Windows Pro, he did NOT inform us this in class. I refuse to spend an $100+ I went to watch my professor tutorial video on Virtual Box.
He states in the video, twice, if your computer does not have 8GB, you are potentially risking your computer not to boot up! Again, I have a 4GB laptop, the recommended space I have for Virtual Box is 1965 MB. Is it safe for me to continue to install? I am really nervous and trust me, I will be highly pissed if my computer will crash. I am stuck between on earning a 0 and have a functionally computer or risk on doing the assignment and my computer is basically dead. I e-mailed him, and he replies I have no choice, what!? He said it himself, "Your system might not boot up or takes 10minutes to boot up, the minimum you should have 8gig. If you have less than that then you are trying this at your own risk but you need a machine with a minimum of 8gig to work this properly."
