so as you all must know, node 13.14.0 is the latest version that supports windows 7,
but i found a workaround,
1. download the zip folder of the node version you want to download (https://nodejs.org/dist/v16.17.3/),
2. find where node is downloaded in your system (an easy way pressing windows key and searching node, and then right click > open file location),
3. cut > paste all the files there and move it to another folder (this is bc if any errors were to happen you can just cut > paste them back),
4. extract the downloaded zip to the folder,
AND DONE!
see if its working by opening cmd and typing 'node -v'
