Referring to the above answer and your question I will try to dispel your doubts.

Minikube is a tool that helps to run Kubernetes locally. Minikube enables to run single-node Kubernetes cluster inside a Virtual Machine (VM) on your laptop. You can read about minikube here: minikube.

Windows 10 supports docker. You can run asp.net windows containers on top of a Kubernetes cluster.

So assuming you have already running Kubernetes cluster you don't have to care about minikube. Just deploy your windows container on top of it. You can read about it here: windows-setup

I hope it helps.
