PS C:\Program Files\nodejs>
PS C:\Program Files\nodejs> node

I'm assuming that you're using Windows Server 2012. You will find everything in the Control Panel. If you want to use the shell instead follow the post from @Zugwalt. — Horizon_Net

Node was likely not set to be in your execution path by default. Try adding it to your path:

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\nodejs

And then running it:

node

If that works go ahead and add it to your path permanently using setx.
