How to set the NODE_SKIP_PLATFORM_CHECK environment variable to 1 which skips the version check

Question

So earlier I was using node version v13.6 bascially because I am on windows 7 and node.js supports only windows 7 till v13.6 . So what I did was I downloaded the node.js latest version(v14.x.x) in '.zip' package and replaced all the files in the nodejs folder with the newer version file. I also know how to set environment variable but how can I set NODE_SKIP_PLATFORM_CHECK to 1 from the system properties in order to bypass the and run the latest version of node.jsenter image description here?

This work for me

1. Go to System-Properties (run: systempropertiesadvanced.exe), in Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.

2. Still on the System variables, click 'New', add "NODE_PATH" with value "C:\nodejs64\node_modules", and click OK.

3. click 'New' again, add "NODE_SKIP_PLATFORM_CHECK" with value "1", and click OK.

4. Click OK of all dialogs close.

5. Restart your machine, so explore and cmd will get the fresh set of variables.
