Environment Variables : Windows 10 - How it works and how to set it

Environment variables are dynamic values which affect the processes or programs on a computer. They exist in every operating system, but types may vary. Environment variables can be created, edited, saved, and deleted and give information about the system behavior.

Thank you so much, when I fixed the python error through online tutorials everyone said to add Python to the path in environment variables, but no one said why? except you, I clearly understood the process, where many people just move on, an underrated video, you deserve more, thanks.

Is there a way to not hardcode the path, but have an actual variable, like a value in a file? This would be useful to be able to change the version of something for a test (like Java for ex) on a machine that has the admin locked by the IT department. They said even if I would have to do this switch multiple times a day, I would have to create a ticket because new policy... Basically, it would be a manual path router, I would just need to edit the file when needed.
