This is the new best way to upgrade npm on Windows.

Run PowerShell as Administrator

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser -Force
npm install -g npm-windows-upgrade
npm-windows-upgrade

Note: Do not run npm i -g npm. Instead use npm-windows-upgrade to update npm going forward. Also if you run the Node.js installer, it will replace the Node.js version.

  • Upgrades npm in-place, where Node.js installed it.
  • Easy updating, update to the latest by running npm-windows-upgrade -p -v latest.
  • Does not modify the default path.
  • Does not change the default global package location.
  • Allows easy upgrades and downgrades.
  • A list of versions matched between NPM and Node.js (https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/) - but you will need to download the Node.js installer and run that to update Node.js (https://nodejs.org/en/)
