Old containers don't work on Windows Server Insiders?

Trying to run a windowsservercore container built on a Windows Server standard build gives me an error:   docker : C:\docker\docker.exe: Error response from daemon: container d87c04be7972d3e5870ed1...

    `docker run --isolation=hyperv microsoft/windowsservercore` will work on Windows Server Insider & Windows 10 Insider builds. Because the kernel is different between the shipped Windows Server 2016 OS - we need to use Hyper-V isolation. That will run that container with the same kernel so there aren't any incompatibilities.

     

    Can you give that a try and let us know how it works?

     

    Thanks!
