VSCode cannot create new project: npm is not recognized

I got a new laptop and am trying to set up VSCode. I had installed SF CLI. I have java version 11.0.7. VSCode installed and I installed the SF Extension pack on it.

However, whenever I attempt to create a new project, I am getting this error: 
'npm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
16:02:49.762 sfdx force:project:create --projectname test --outputdir c:\Users\Alexandra Stehman\Documents\Projects\CLM Internal\VSCode\Simplus Internal CLM - full Sandbox --template standard
 ended with exit code 1
Any ideas?

Thank you!
