NVM (Node Version Manager) and nvm-windows are both version managers for Node.js, but they are designed for different operating systems and have distinct implementations:

• NVM: Originally developed for Unix-like systems (like Linux and macOS), NVM allows users to install and manage multiple versions of Node.js. It's a bash script that modifies the PATH environment variable to switch between Node.js versions.

• nvm-windows: Specifically designed for Windows, nvm-windows is a separate project that provides similar functionality to NVM but is built with Windows system compatibility in mind. It has a different implementation, using a symlink-based approach to manage Node.js versions, and offers a graphical user interface for version management.

This guide explains how to install and use nvm-windows.
