Updating and updating the Docker distribution on Windows

Question

At the moment I have Docker v.1.7, and I want to update it to the latest version (1.8 at the moment).

The important part: I want to do this without installing Docker and boot2docker again. I could not find information about this.

Is it possible? And how can I do this?

Answer 1

If you already have boot2docker, the update is normal:

boot2docker stop
boot2docker download
boot2docker start

docker@boot2docker:~$ docker version
Client:
 Version:      1.8.1
 API version:  1.20
 Go version:   go1.4.2
 Git commit:   d12ea79
 Built:        Thu Aug 13 02:49:29 UTC 2015
 OS/Arch:      linux/amd64

As they say, in the future, is the recommended project for use.
