I have tried but for it to fully work, I think we need admin rights. After following the steps nvm command works but fails when I try to install node by using nvm install latest. I am getting the following error.

C:\dev-tools\nvm could not be found or does not exist. Exiting.
Downloading node.js version 16.15.1 (64-bit)...
Error while creating C:\dev-tools\nvm\v16.15.1\node.zip - open C:\dev-tools\nvm\v16.15.1\node.zip: The system cannot find the path specified.
Could not download node.js v16.15.1 64-bit executable.

Is this something you have also come across?

Did you try to remove the - symbol in the folder name?
