TIME AND LANGUAGE SETTINGS

1. On your PC, select Start, then select Settings > Time & Language. 

2. Go to Date & time to verify your time & timezone settings

3. Go to Region to check your location.

NOTE: You can ensure your computer’s clocked is synced by navigating to Start > Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time, where you can toggle the “Set time automatically setting" to ON.
