 ### Add a label to the node
 
-Configure the Docker Engine running on the node to have a label. This makes
-it easier to deploy applications on nodes with this label.
-
-Create the file `C:\ProgramData\docker\config\daemon.json` with the following
-content:
-
-```
-{
-  "labels": ["os=windows"]
-}
-```
-
-Restart Docker for the changes to take effect:
