Hi!

I'm currently creating a new Node-RED installation on Windows 11. Am I right in saying that the latest Node-RED v3.0.2 still only runs on Node.js v14? (as described at [Running on Windows : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/windows) )?

According to the Node.js release schedule, v14 is in maintenance-only and its end-of-life is at the end of April 2023 - some 5 months away - so I'm a little hesitant to create a new build considering the current LTS version is v18?

No, the Windows docs just haven't been updated for a while.
