There is no need to uninstall prior versions of node as far as i can tell. So after installation just check that points 1 and 2 are covered and you should be good. There are two things required to get nvm-win to work and the installer only does the first of these two. After installation I got the error that most folks complained about which is that it was unable to find the file settings.txt. I installed nvm-windows in order to get multiple versions of node to work. I dont know if this is the best way, but it worked for me. Probably you will be installing multiple versions, so repeat as needed.

Delete/remove/uninstall the version of node in your "C:\Program Files\nodejs" directory.Ok, so here is what I did to fix the situation where "nvm use. It seems that nvm is simply switching the shortcut, when we call "nvm use. In the end, this "C:\Program Files\nodejs" directory will actually be a shortcut to where nvm manages the versions it installs (see C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\nvm). Most of us already have a "nodejs" directory from a prior install, before we decided (or were told) to install nvm.

First examine your actual "C:\Program Files\nodejs" directory.
