Hi..  
Am running the Elasticsearch source code (7.15) in my window machine, May I know in which file I have to change the path to store my data permanently Since each time I restart the machine build folder gets reset.

I found Elasticsearch.yml file inside build config need to know from where its getting updated.

Can some one guide me please.

Thank you.
