I am trying to install NodeJS for windows 7. I tried installing the most recent NodeJS but it is not compatible with Windows 7. I was wondering if anyone knows what is the latest version of NodeJS you can install on Windows 7? Thank you.

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 v1.40tov1.41, and with that, causing Win7 errors:ws2_32.dlldoes not haveGetHostNameWfunction (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 innode_modules/npmdirectory; I didn't copy from the zip because I already updated npm before replacing the files) - Create an Environment variable called:
NODE_SKIP_PLATFORM_CHECKand set it to1 - Ready to use Node in Windows 7 for now.
Latest node.js version that (officially) supports Windows 7 is 13.6.0.
It seems that v13.14.0 is the last installer that works on Window 7
go here and select the package related to your version of windows 32 / 64 bits:
