You can achieve this by creating a new virtual switch in Hyper-V Manager for Minikube.

1. Open the Hyper-V Manager (simple Windows search will find it)
2. Select 'Virtual Switch Manager'
3. Select 'New virtual network switch' and choose network type 'External'
4. Create the virtual switch (take note of the name you save it with)
5. Then when starting up minikube you can do the following: minikube start --vm-driver hyperv --hyperv-virtual-switch ""
