Is it possible to choose the version of react when installing?

Question

React

Good afternoon, I'm learning programming and decided to test react. But there was a problem that the laptop on which I work, due to its age, does not have the windows 10 drivers necessary to run the required version of Node.js. And accordingly, I can’t react 17.
When installing a Node version higher than 13.14, from the archives from the site, a black screen appears and the installation does not proceed further. Therefore, the question arose, is it possible to somehow select a version during initialization in the create-react-app terminal, or is there a way to download an "archive" of previous versions?

Answer 1

npm install -g create-react-app
create-react-app my-app
