Cannot change system interpreter pycharm
Pycharm currently uses a conda enterpreter as system interpreter. I would like to change this to a different version. In the attached screenshots I show that my system interpreter is currently based on anaconda. Screenshot 1 shows my current system interpreter.
Screenshot 2 shows the system interpreter I would like to use.
How can i change the system interpreter?

Hello,
You can specify another path to another interpreter manually by click "..." or choose the interpreter from the dropdown list.
Thank you for your reply. However, I had tried that allready and when I set a different interpreter in that field it adds a new python interpreter, but the system interpreter remains the same. In the screenshot below I first (1) used the '...' to add a new interpreter location which then appeared in (2). However, in screenshot 2 I show that this only created a new python interpreter, but not a new system interpreter.
>but the system interpreter remains the same.
this is a view where you select an interpreter for you project (selecting a required interpreter and clicking OK will define the selected interpreter to be used for your project ). The fact that when in "Add Python Interpreter" system interpreter configuration view suggest the conda interpreter by default does not make much sense here, as it is assumed that you choose another one if needed and click OK to use it.
For a virtual environment creation view, there is a base interpreter field, that can be configured manually and it does not depend on the system interpreter which refers to conda.
If there is another issue, please record a screencast presenting the behaviour and upload to the FTP
