Guys... I need help with this damn compiler!

Well. I'm running Win10 so let's go:
I wanted to test some of my simple c language programs.
Installed mingw32 and downloaded gcc-compiler and it's library's.
The problem i'm running in, how tf do I execute it?

I mean, everything is okay but that crap gives me problems! I'm really lost so help would be appreaciated @_@

[I don't want to modify environement path for reasons, last time i tried that it didn't go well]
And before you get too excited: No, i'm not able to code shit in C. I'm just a small, starting user. I downloaded a book off internet which is very user friendly so far so...

Also, self-motivation is cool! I want to code at all cost.

@Shadowfied You are not alone, while i'm not a fan of Sublime, I hate VSCode or anything that takes 200+MB just to let me write code. Most of the time people don't even NEED an IDE. They are writing a little 20 line program and not a huge website. I just don't get the point.

Sorry I didn't see this blog before.
Did you fix your problem?
AFAIK mingw comes with a simplified version of bash, that you can run and it already is configured with appropriate paths, so you could compile from there easily just running your typical gcc -o bla.exe bla.c; or even better you can write a Makefile and run make from there.
You can also go the easier way and install some IDE, like... well, the easiest way would be to install a Qt package already including mingw (as it comes preconfigured) and use Qt Creator, but sure that is a bloat.

Anyway, let me know if you need help (I normally don't have access to a Windows PC but I can do my best anyway)

@Sarkelez I fixed it.
Using Code::Blocks which is very fast and good.
