Not much of a pain here on Windows 7. Right-click the clock at lower
right corner of the screen, choose "Adjust date/time," click "change
time zone," pull down "(UTC) Coordinated Universal Time" from the
list, OK out and you're done. Very straightforward. You could go the
long way through Control Panel if you wanted, but why bother?
BTW, in my experience Windows has usually defaulted to US Pacific
Time out of the box (I guess 'cause that's where M$ lives), so I've
had to change the time zone whenever I bought a new machine, but once
it's done and daylight saving time is enabled, I never have to think
about it again.
That just sets the display of the clock in Windows not when
referencing the clock set in CMOS. Windows assumes motherboard has
*localtime* not UTC so if your are not online yet the clock retrieved
from CMOS will not show the correct timezone...
To use UTC in CMOS and show local time zone in OS in Windows uses a
registry edit, see:
<https://superuser.com/questions/975717/does-windows-10-support-utc-as-bios-time>
OK, that's a nice hack, but what does it have to do with the price of
beans? Does it change the date/time stamps on outgoing emails? Aren't
those read from the OS time?
I was addressing previous issue Daniel voiced:
"I'm swapping between Linux and Win7. My clock varies by eleven hours"
