As we know in Windows 10 we have different options and tools that can help us in each of our tasks. The clock settings are one of these tools that although it seems something without much use, the truth is that it has different options that it is better to know to be able to reset it to our own use. The Windows 10 operating system displays various information on your desktop useful for many tasks that we perform daily, one of them is the date and the clock which we find on the right side of the taskbar:
By default, the clock will display the time in 12-hour format, but many users may wish to change this setting and display the clock in 24-hour format. Although the watch seems a simple complement to our devices, the truth is that it can be useful in many occasions. Not all sites, for example, the time or date format is the same and that is why it is important to know how we can customize the clock and configure it according to our needs. TechnoWikis will explain the way to do it simply..
