I can't understand what happened. And I don't know how to edit system environment variables using System Variable Editor.

Windows 10 laptop show Edit Environment Variables:
Windows 11 laptop doesn't show Edit Environment Variables but here show System Variable Editor:

I am the new on this platform so please forgive me if I have made any mistakes.

Thank you.

In fact an environment variable is an entire string. Windows 10 just displays multiple values separated by semicolons in a user friendly way. If you want to add a new value, append the value you want at the end of the entire string, and make sure there is a semicolon between the value and the previous one.
