Actually when using Docker Desktop on Windows or on macOS the docker daemon already is running in a VM since docker / containers are based on namespaces in the Linux Kernel.
But this means that "running Docker Desktop on a Windows VM" would require to start a Linux VM (which is the actual docker host) inside the Windows VM! For this to work you need to have a working setup for nested virtualization to allow starting a VM inside a VM.
This is not officially supported by docker, see Running Docker Desktop in nested virtualization scenarios.
Another approach you could try though is to manually a Linux VM next to the Windows VM, i.e. on the same hardware host you are running the Windows VM on, and connect with the docker command from your Windows VM to the docker VM, see DOCKER_HOST.
But in this setup having volumes on the Windows VM and port forwarding working requires some more manual steps...
