how to run the latest version of node js in windows 7

Comment

Update: Oct 2021, the latest versions working with below "trick" are:

Node v14.16.1 (or older but not below v14.5.0)
Node v15.8.0 (or older but not below v15.0.0)
Because Node updated from libuv v1.40 to v1.41, and with that, causing Win7 errors: ws2_32.dll does not have GetHostNameW function (or something alike).

The workaround Method (for versions mentioned above)
The v12.x branch seems to continue supporting Win7 (tested 2021 with Node v12.22.7).

But I needed 14.x version-branch and ended solving problem;
I just installed Node 14.15.0, like:

Go to Node-downloads
Download the Windows Binary (.zip) (either 32/64 bit)
Extract it in the directory where your node is installed and say yes to replace all files (remember that the zip comes with npm, which is in node_modules/npm directory; I didn't copy from the zip because I already updated npm before replacing the files)
Create an Environment variable called: NODE_SKIP_PLATFORM_CHECK and set it to 1
Ready to use Node in Windows 7 for now.
