fix(docs): add the containers feature enabling step
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
By default, a fresh Windows installation does not come
with `containers` feature enabled since not all users
usually need the feature. It is therefore provided as
a _feature on demand (FoD)_.

This commit introduces the one-step powershell
command that enables this feature. This is necessary
for anything to run successfully.

```powershell
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V, Containers -All
```

You will be asked to restart your machine, do so, and then continue with the rest of the steps. No other restart needed.

1. Setup `containerd` by following [the setup instructions here](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/blob/main/docs/getting-started.md#installing-containerd-on-windows). (_Currently, we only support the `containerd` worker_.)
1. Start the `containerd` service, if not yet started.
