Recently I downloaded the gcc complier for C. After downloading, I copied the path of bin present inside mingw64 folder and tried to paste that inside PATH of user variable of advanced system settings, but, there, I m unable to add the path of bin in PATH.

Whenever, I am clicking on edit Path, then, I am getting this:

which is making it impossible to edit it.

Your first screenshot (or second; I think they are swapped; sorry if it was me) seems to show that you can edit, see comment by john.

Just press the left arrow key, and then paste. Don't forget that you need to add a ; between the path you are adding and the existing paths.

In the second you have a button "Edit...", which I clicked to get more editing options, adding a new one, editing (another "Edit..." button), reordering. Very convenient.
