Tutorial: Get The Exact Time Using Atomic Clock

Support: Tutorial Level – Basic

Here is how to sync your computer’s date and time with the Atomic Clock to ensure that your system’s clock is accurate to the split second.

There is a tool within Windows that allows you to sync your computer with an internet time server. I won’t go into too much detail about how the ping time server works but instead just explain how to adjust your computer’s time to give you the exact time.

1. Click or right-click on the clock in the bottom right of your screen and find your way onto the “Change Date & Time” settings.

2. Using Internet Time – select a time server from the drop-down list and Update.

Some time servers work better that others depending on which country you are in. Here in the UK the “time-b.nist.gov” will usually succeed.
