Docker Desktop for Windows¶

Docker Desktop for Windows is an application for Windows that allows users to build and share containerized applications.^[600-developer-docker-docker-windows.md]

System Requirements and Compatibility¶

The application relies on Hyper-V to function.^[600-developer-docker-docker-windows.md] Consequently, it cannot coexist with VMware on the same system, as VMware conflicts with Hyper-V.^[600-developer-docker-docker-windows.md] Users have also reported compatibility issues and bugs with specific versions of Docker Desktop for Windows.^[600-developer-docker-docker-windows.md]

Data Storage¶

By default, Docker images and data are stored in a specific system directory.^[600-developer-docker-docker-windows.md] The default path for this data is C:\ProgramData\DockerDesktop\vm-data.^[600-developer-docker-docker-windows.md]
