How to Change the Time Zone Settings on Windows
If you travel frequently or work with people in different regions, you might need to change the time zone setting on your Windows device to ensure that you get the correct time displayed. Fortunately, changing the time zone settings on your Windows device is a simple and straightforward process. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to change the time zone setting on your Windows device.
Step 1: Open Settings
The first step to change the time zone setting on your Windows device is to open the Settings app. Click on the “Start” button on the bottom left corner of your screen and then click on the “Settings” icon (gear icon).
Step 2: Click on Time & Language
Once you’ve opened the Settings app, click on the “Time & Language” option.
Step 3: Select Date & Time
Under the “Time & Language” option, click on “Date & Time” to access the time and date settings.
Step 4: Turn On Set Time Zone Automatically
By default, Windows devices are set to automatically set the time zone based on your location. If you want to continue with automatic time zone detection, make sure the “Set time zone automatically” option is switched on. If you’d like to turn off “Set time zone automatically” and set the time zone manually, proceed to the next step.
Step 5: Select Time Zone
To set the time zone manually, turn off “Set time zone automatically” and select your preferred time zone from the list of available options. You can either select your time zone from the map or scroll through the list of available time zones.
Step 6: Select Additional Time Zone
If you frequently work with people in another time zone, you can also add an additional time zone to your device. This will display the time for both time zones on your taskbar. To add an additional time zone, enable the “Show additional clocks” option and select the time zone you want to add from the dropdown list. You can also name the additional clock to make it easier to identify.
Step 7: Save Changes
Once you’ve made changes to your time zone settings, click on the “Save” button to apply the changes. Your device will now display the correct time based on your selected time zone setting.
