I have node version 6.11.3 installed. I need to install 8.11.3 on windows. I just can't find anything that works. Does anyone know how to do this?

The easiest option is to just download the appropriate .msi installer (x64 or x86) for the desired version. With each downloaded update, the newer versions will replace the older version. So for 8.11.3 you'd use https://nodejs.org/download/release/v8.11.3/

List of all versions can be found here: https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/

However, if you want to be more flexible, you can give the windows version of NVM (node version manager) a try:

  • Oh, would this be the right file for Windows 10? "node-v8.11.3-win-x64.zip" – Sam Sep 02 '19 at 14:42

    Thank you. That worked. A few notes. This is the url I went to: https://nodejs.org/download/release/v8.11.3/ This is the the file I used for the msi install package on Windows 10: node-v8.11.3-x64.msi Interesting fact. If you go and watch the "C:\Program Files" folder during the install, you will see the node.js folder dissapear and reappear so you can be comfortable in knowing you are getting a clean new version. The run node -v again to see "8.11.3" – Sam Sep 02 '19 at 15:08
