How do I enable the Windows 10 Containers feature?

Using the latest version of Windows 16 Fast Ring build 14316 (inside the VMware virtual machine), I am trying to make the Desktop App Converter work.

When running the PowerShell script as recommended:

PS C:\> .\DesktopAppConverter.ps1 -Setup -BaseImage .\BaseImage-14316.wim 

I get an error message:

Assert-RequiredFeatureEnabled: fatal error 1000: required function not installed or not activated. See Machine Setup Instructions.
In C: \ MyPath \ DesktopAppConverter \ converter_util \ EnvironmentAssertions.ps1: 40 Zeichen: 9

When studying the mentioned source code, it seems that this line does not work:

 $feature = Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "Containers" 

I am already trying to enable various Windows features without success.

My question is:

What is the function "Containers" and how to enable it?

Now you need to enable "Get Insider Preview builds".

Containers are part of Hyper-V that only runs on Windows Server. I do not think they exist for Windows 10.

See here for reference .
