Minishift requires me to be a member of the Hyper-V Administrators Group, yet Local Users and Groups is not an option in computer management

I need to get minishift working, yet when I attempt to run "minishift start --hyperv-virtual-switch "External VM Switch"", I am told I need to be a member of the Hyper-V Administrators group. I looked up how to add myself to this group, but The "Local Users and Groups" tab is not available in my "Computer Management." I tried to run "lusrmgr.msc," and I get an error telling me that this snapin is not available in my version of Windows 10. How can I add myself to this group another way?

Command Prompt

lusrmgr.msc

There is this article about multiple options on how to add a user to the group in windows. Using cli should do the job.

In short: Open cmd as an administrator, and call something like net localgroup "Hyper-V Administrators" user_name /add.
