77- Official Microsoft Windows images or any image you create based on them aren't
78- distributable by default. When you push a Windows image to DTR, Docker only
79- pushes the image manifest but not the image layers. This means that:
77+ The base layers of the Microsoft Windows base images have restrictions on how
78+ they can be redistributed. When you push a Windows image to DTR, Docker only
79+ pushes the image manifest and all the layers on top of the Windows base layers.
80+ The Windows base layers are not pushed to DTR. This means that:

8182* DTR won't be able to scan those images for vulnerabilities since DTR doesn't
82- have access to the layers
83- * When a user pulls a Windows image from DTR, they are redirected to a
84- Microsoft registry to fetch the layers
83+ have access to the layers (the Windows base layers are scanned by Docker Store,
84+ however).
85+ * When a user pulls a Windows image from DTR, the Windows base layers are
86+ automatically fetched from Microsoft and the other layers are fetched from DTR.
87+
88+ This default behavior is recommended for standard Docker EE installations, but
89+ for air-gapped or similarly limited setups Docker can optionally optionally also
90+ push the Windows base layers to DTR.
