It avoids all of the pitfalls listed below. However; you may not wish to nuke your Node installation if you've highly customized it. NVM for Windows _can_ assume management of an existing installation, but there are nuances to this (dependent entirely on the permissions of the user running the installation). If you have an administrative account, it's relatively safe to install NVM for Windows before uninstalling the original Node version. If you are working in a closed environment, such as a corporate Active Directory environment where installations/uninstallations are controlled by group policy, you should really consider removing the original version of Node before installing NVM4W. _Permission Problems_ -For security reasons, Windows will not allow an application from one vendor to "uninstall" an application from a different vendor. The official NVM4W installer will attempt assume management of an existing installation of Node., but it cannot actually uninstall the original Node.js version. To work around this, NVM for Windows installer attempts to copy the original Node.js installation files to the NVM root. This includes global npm modules and configurations. Once this process is complete, the original Node.js installation can be uninstalled without losing data. +For security reasons, Windows will not allow an application from one vendor to "uninstall" an application from a different vendor.

This is not a problem if you choose a different symlink path (such as `C:\nvm\node`).
