How do I add a path to your PATH environment variable on Windows?

  1. Open the Control Panel.
  2. Go to System and Security.
  3. Go to System.
  4. On the left, click on Advanced system settings (you need to have administrator privileges to do so)
  5. Click on Environment Variables
  6. Click on Path in the top box
  7. Click Edit

Now, on Windows 10, they added a cool "editor" for this variable. You just need to click New and write in the path you wanted to add.

On previous version though, you have to make sure all your path are seperated by a ;. So, you might need to add one.

After this, just click OK for each windows.

That's it! You've successfully added your path to the PATH environment variable!
