Answer 2

On Windows you can solve with Chocolatey Package Manager:

*Assuming you have the Chocolatey installed, follow the steps below:

1. In CMD as administrator, type the command:

   cinst nodejs.install -version [xx.xx. x] -allow-downgrade

Make sure to change xx.xx. x by the version number you want to install.

EX: cinst nodejs.install -version 10.16.1 -allow-downgrade

2. Close and open the CMD again or restart your computer.
