docker current not installed - bash on ubuntu on windows 10

Question

I've installed docker on bash on ubuntu on windows 10:

sudo apt-get install -y docker

but when i try to use it:

docker -v

it gives me the following error:

The program 'docker' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install docker

When I try to reinstall it, I get this message:

docker is already the newest version.

UPDATE:

It seems that one of the pre-requisites for installing docker this way: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/ubuntulinux/ which works on my dedicated ubuntu machine is:

your kernel must be 3.10 at minimum

Whereas ubuntu on win 10 is 3.4

Is there a way to update this?

Looks like you had to install lxc-docker on this version. Try installing docker by following the official page https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/ubuntulinux/ — Mayur Nagekar, Oct 10 '16 at 14:31
You may need to upgrade to 15.04 or 16.04 for kernel upgrade. — Griffin, Oct 10 '16 at 14:39
