Docker Windows image data directory

The default directory for Docker image data on Windows is located at C:\ProgramData\DockerDesktop\vm-data.^[600-developer-docker-docker-windows.md]

Configuration and Compatibility

Users have the option to change this default location through the Docker Desktop interface settings.^[600-developer-docker-docker-windows.md] However, running Docker Desktop on Windows requires Hyper-V to be enabled, which creates a conflict with VMware Workstation; consequently, these two technologies cannot coexist on the same system.^[600-developer-docker-docker-windows.md] Additionally, certain versions of Docker Windows have been known to contain bugs that may affect functionality.^[600-developer-docker-docker-windows.md]
