If you want to use the "none" driver, you need to delete the machine with the "virtualbox" driver.

If you want to run a VM in a VM, you need to make sure your system supports nested virtualization.

In order to change resource allocation (disk and memory size), you need to first delete the old one.

Related to #4730, better docs needed

This is not a standard minikube platform

@sharuk123 seems like a connection error, are you using virtualbox driver on windows?
there are some issues with virtualbox networking.

could you try docker driver with latest version of minikube? (v 1.9.0 or higher) ?
minikube start --driver=docker

@sharuk123
I haven't heard from you, I am gonna close this issue
Meanwhile have you tried out newest driver Docker Driver with latest version of minikube?
you could try
minikube delete
minikube start --driver=docker

for more information on the docker driver checkout:
