Configure global nprmrc file location in Windows

Question

In Windows, I want to change the default global npmrc location, how can I do this?

I ran npm config set prefix C:\npm to change the prefix of the global npmrc location.

And then npm config get globalconfig to get the exact expected global location (which is C:\npm\etc\npmrc).

I navigated to this location and defined my global npmrc there (I had to create the etc folder myself.
