So earlier I was using node version v13.6 bascially because I am on windows 7 and node.js supports only windows 7 till v13.6 . So what I did was I downloaded the node.js latest version(v14.x.x) in '.zip' package and replaced all the files in the nodejs folder with the newer version file. I also know how to set environment variable but how can I set NODE_SKIP_PLATFORM_CHECK to 1 from the system properties in order to bypass the and run the latest version of node.jsenter image description here?

Did you tried adding environment variable at the OS level and setting the value as one ?? – vikash vik May 28 '21 at 14:05

This work for me
Go to System-Properties (run: systempropertiesadvanced.exe), in Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.
Still on the System variables, click 'New', add "NODE_PATH" with value "C:\nodejs64\node_modules", and click OK.
click 'New' again, add "NODE_SKIP_PLATFORM_CHECK" with value "1", and click OK.
Click OK of all dialogs close.
Restart your machine, so explore and cmd will get the fresh set of variables.

Step 2 are 5 may not be needed, since the installation checks just the NODE_SKIP_PLATFORM_CHECK variable. Instead of restarting the machine, you can just close the command prompt and re-open it. – eloimondelo Aug 25 '23 at 09:21
