WithWindows 11in the spotlight, it’s only natural to have questions. As far as we see it, the more, the merrier! One particular topic that users raised was how to change time on Windows 11.
Despite its massive overhaul, this OS is still based on the same familiar, and dare we say coherent infrastructure we all got to know and love in Windows 10.
Therefore, adjusting the time parameter is rather intuitive and very similar to the good old Windows 10. So, without further ado, let’s dive in and see what needs to be done to change the time on Windows 11.
How do I change the time on Windows 11?
1. Change time settings via the Control Panel
This is the conventional way to change time on Windows 11. As you can see, the procedure is as intuitive and straightforward as always and it works pretty muchthe same way as for Windows 10.
Now, we all know that evolution works in mysterious ways – to a certain extent – and as a direct consequence, the Redmond giant decided toditch quite a few features deemed unworthyfor the new operating system.
As you can see, the Control Panel is still going strong and you can rely on it for many years to come. Unless a brand-new, breakthrough comes along and Microsoft decides to shake our worlds from the ground, that is.
2. Explore the Widgets Panel
Easy, right? Here’s one more thing that might also interest you when you want to change time on Windows 11: formats.
Let’s say you’re not happy with a particular format or even with the calendar settings on your brand new operating system.
You can also set this parameter to reflect your style and needs, from the Date, Time, and Regional Formatting screen, located in the same widget.
Check out these quick steps to do just that:
The new OS does not justbring new functionalitiesto the table. While some features did not make the cut, others are restored to former glory. Such is the case of widgets that made a powerful comeback in the new Windows 11.
The Widgets feature, now replacing the old live Tiles, is rather privileged and enjoys a dedicated panel, along with numerous customization options.
As you can see, the steps are pretty similar to the way things work in Windows 10. Speaking of which, you might want to check out thiscomprehensive Windows 10 and Windows 11 parallel.
