Running minikube with Hyper-V

Open a PowerShell console as Administrator. Determine the name of the network adapter, such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet:

Get-NetAdapter

Create an external virtual switch named minikube that uses the selected network adapter:

New-VMSwitch -name minikube -NetAdapterName {{ AdapterName }} -AllowManagementOS $true

Reboot to clear out potential routing problems

Download the minikube Windows installer from https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases, usually it is at this path:

https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases/latest/download/minikube-windows-amd64.exe

or use winget:

winget install Kubernetes.minikube

Also you'll need kubectl:

winget install -e --id Kubernetes.kubectl

To initialize your minikube cluster:

minikube start --driver=hyperv

Verify:

minikube status
kubectl cluster-info
kubectl get no

You can also add extensions
