MinGW: “gcc is not recognized as an internal or external command”

Although an old question, none of the answers here helped me. The only route I found to get to my destination is by typing in the following line in my command prompt:

To copy: set Path=C:\MinGW\bin;%PATH%

After that, simply type in gcc -v.

Hope this helps anyone with the problem I had!
