If you want to keep your Windows environment, use a Node version manager- for instance Nodist: https://github.com/marcelklehr/nodist It will allow you to choose the version you require for your different projects.

I would use Docker and run different Node versions inside separate containers, start and stop when needed.

Look at the official Node repo https://hub.docker.com/_/node/. There are all versions from 0.10 to 5.1.1 available.

Inside the project folder where you need a specific Node version, create a Dockerfile file and put this in:

FROM node:5.1.1
EXPOSE 8000 // The port on which your Node app runs

Then build the image from this config file by running:

$ docker build -t yourappname .

Finally run it:

$ docker run -it --rm --name yourappinstance yourappname

For another project you do the same except specifying a different Node version.
