Upgrade node / NPM on Windows

You could run npm i -g npm to update your node, but you should go for:

Open a Powershell as Administrator
Set the Execution Policy the right way, with unrestricted rights:
```
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser -Force
```
Install the npm-windows-upgrade package as global:
```
npm install -g npm-windows-upgrade
```
Finally, run the updater and choose your desired version:
```
npm-windows-upgrade
```
