What:
Updated React Native CLI Quickstart/Windows-Android docs to use the LTS version of node during choco install, and recommended use of LTS in general, similarly to how React docs do the same.
Why:
_getting-started-windows-android.md currently lists the choco install command as:
choco install -y nodejs.install openjdk8
...which will install node.js version 17 (current)
While you will still be able to init an app with the react-native CLI and node.js 17, the command
npx react-native run-android
will fail due to the same bug affecting facebook/create-react-app#11562
