Hey @tpat10 –

It looks like the main issue is with lines that look like this:

Nov 29, 2018, 3:03 PM PST - error: [main/docker-create-machine] Error with pre-create check: "This computer doesn't have VT-X/AMD-v enabled. Enabling it in the BIOS is mandatory"

Since you are on a newer version of Windows, my guess is that Windows’ Hyper-V feature needs to be disabled. Right now, there is a conflict between Windows Hyper-V and VirtualBox, which is what Local uses for managing the Virtual Machine.

Have a look a this topic: Conflict with Hyper-V

And specifically, try deactivating Hyper-V from the “Windows Features” screen.

Let me know how that goes!
