The time on the computer screen is shown in the lower right corner of the screen, and the fact that the clock constantly shows the time is very convenient for work. Sometimes you have to change the time settings, especially when changing from winter to summer time and vice versa, from summer to winter. In addition, the standard time has been changing frequently lately, all of which requires changing the date and time settings.
You can change the time on your computer by clicking on the clock, which is located on the far right side of the “Start” line. In this case, the computer will display a calendar, which you sometimes need to look at, and a dial with arrows. In this window, you need to click on “Change date and time settings...” - the “Date and time” window will open.
In the window that opens, you can change the date and time and set the time zone settings. After the next decree about changing the hands, the time on my computer began to periodically go wrong: a few days after installation, the clock began to go one hour ahead. After changing the time zone, this problem no longer occurred.
Why did the clock show the wrong time? It turns out that in Windows 7, the computer's clock is synchronized with the time over the Internet. The “Internet time” tab can be found in the “Date and time” window, where it is indicated to synchronize with which time site the computer is configured. You can change synchronization settings by clicking on the corresponding “Change settings” button, or you can disable synchronization by unchecking the box that opens.
The “Additional hours” tab makes it possible to set the clock in a different time zone; this will be needed when, for example, you need to have time to connect to a remote seminar (webinar), which are usually held in Moscow time, or in time for the start of trading on the stock exchange if you are engaged in online trading. trading.
Thus, the calendar and clock are hidden in the lower right corner of the screen. All date and time settings are available by clicking on the clock. The clock on your computer does not need to be constantly checked and adjusted, since it is synchronized with time via the Internet.
