    You can normally set local environment variables in two ways:

    Option 1:

    1-Click on Start, search for "Edit environment variables for your account" and click on that

    2-This option will open a window like you sent on the screenshot where you can only change the user variables

    Option 2:

    1-Right-click on Start then click on Run

    2-Type: sysdm.cpl and click on OK

    3-Click on the "Advanced" tab, then click on the "Environment Variables..." button at the bottom

    4-This option will open a window where you can change the user variables and the system variables

    Try to access the environment variables using option 2 and check if you are able to edit the system variables.
