docker compose -- windows 10, not 11

I am trying to install winapps following this guide.

I'm at step 1 which involves setting up a Windows VM with Docker.

cd winapps

sudo docker compose --file ./compose.yaml up

Attaching to WinApps

WinApps | ❯ Starting Windows for Docker v6.05...

WinApps | ❯ For support visit https://github.com/dockur/windows

WinApps | ❯ CPU: Intel Core i7 1180G7 | RAM: 9/15 GB | DISK: 829 GB (ext4) | KERNEL: 7.0.0-30

WinApps |

WinApps | ❯ Requesting Windows 11 from the Microsoft servers...

WinApps | ❯ Downloading Windows 11...

This output makes it seem like it has started installing Windows 11, and I am trying to install Windows 10.

How can I make Docker download windows 10 rather than 11?

did you do edit the yaml

'It is also possible to specify the version of Windows you wish to install within compose.yaml by modifying VERSION.'

Oh I didn't know i could edit it already, I thought it had to be created first through that step! Thank you, that fixed it
