+1. Similar to the above except you should add `--platform linux/amd64` to the `docker run` command like so:

+```docker run --platform linux/amd64 --interactive --tty --rm --env LOCAL_USER_ID=`id -u $USER` --publish 8888:8888 --volume <path_to_local_machine_notebooks>:/notebooks --volume <path_where_you_want_data_saved>:/data snapatac2:v2.6.0-recommend-interactive-py3.11```
+
+### Run Instructions for `snapatac2:v2.6.0-recommend-interactive-py3.11` Image on Windows [EXPERIMENTAL]
+
+1. Install Docker Desktop for Windows: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/
+2. Start up Docker Desktop for Windows
+3. Look for the snapatac2 image that you want to run and `pull` it
+4. Go back to the main images menu and 'run' the image
+
+<img src="docker-windows-tutorial-0.png" width=25% height=25%>
+5. Before clicking `run` open up the `optional settings` and fill in the following:
+
+<img src="docker-windows-tutorial-1.png" width=25% height=25%>
+6. A new container should be spun up and you should see in the `logs` section the following:
+
+<img src="docker-windows-tutorial-2.png" width=25% height=25%>
+7. Pasting the url in the `logs` section into your browser should let you access Jupyter Lab
