Stable and Edge channels

Depending on your requirements, you can choose from two release channels for Docker Desktop for Windows: Stable and Edge. You should consider using a Stable channel if you are OK with the following:

• You want the recommended and reliable platform to work with containers. Releases in a Stable channel follow the release cycle of Docker platform stable releases. You can expect releases in the Stable channel to be performed once per quarter.
• You want to have a choice of whether to send usage statistics.

You should consider using an Edge channel if you are OK with the following:

• You want to get the experimental features as soon as possible. This may come at a cost of some instability and bugs. You can expect releases in the Edge channel to be performed once per month.
• You are OK with usage statistics being collected.

Now, let's proceed with the installation itself.
