The <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dev-environment/javascript/nodejs-on-windows">Microsoft</a>/<a href="https://docs.cloud.google.com/nodejs/docs/setup#installing_nvm">Google</a> recommended Node.js version manager for millions of Windows developers. 

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **You may already have NVM for Windows.** [Microsoft Zenith](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2026/09/04/announcing-project-zenith-the-ready-to-code-windows-experience/) preconfigures NVM, starting with AMD Ryzen AI Halo devices. More devices from OEM and silicon partners will be available in the coming months.

<summary><b>NVM for Windows is not the same thing as nvm!</b> (expand for details)</summary>

_The original [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) is a completely separate project for Mac/Linux only._ This project uses an entirely different philosophy and is not just a clone of nvm.
