I am trying to upgrade node.js but when using the command nvm uses a USERNAME that is not registered on my computer and not the USERNAME I have always used. This is the error message I get

Step 1: type in cmd prompt nvm -v If it doesnt return error it means it is installed. There must be some other issue. If error returns same as nvm doesnt exist on device. Move to step 2.

Step 2: U need to download the zip package of nvm for windows on ur device manually and then install it.

Step 3: Once it is installed. Try step 1 again.

Step4: Now u ready to install any version of node on ur device. nvm 12

Can you kindly share what does nvm ls returns. If it returns no installation found it means once you find the exact version numbers that have been installed on your device for nvm then you can try: nvm [version no] This is how you can easily use the command.
