Right Click On Computer (Or My Computer) 2. Click On Properties (Last Option)

This document provides instructions for modifying environment variables on a Windows computer to include the path for MinGW, an open-source compiler collection, allowing GCC commands to be run from the command prompt. It involves accessing advanced system settings and environment variables through the Control Panel, editing the Path variable to append the MinGW folder path separated by a semicolon, and testing the change by running gcc from a new command prompt.
