  • @KarelG I can see in that other question that there's a lot of effort around upgrading Node on Windows. Does the regular *.msi installer have known issues? Should I avoid it? – Álvaro González Jun 21 '17 at 07:30

Just run the set of commands to upgrade node and npm versions:
Run PowerShell as Administrator

  • Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser -Force
  • npm install -g npm-windows-upgrade
  • npm-windows-upgrade

To upgrade to specific node version, run the following command:

  • npm-windows-upgrade --npm-version latest

To manually specify a version:

  • npm-windows-upgrade --npm-version xyz

go through the official npm documentation: https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-windows-upgrade
