time

[George-45]

On start up the first time I tried to get the correct country (Sweden) but the mouse (plate) would not take me to there  and I ended up on British Islands somewhere about 10 hours ahead of Sweden. I thought I could easily correct this later and I wanted to get on with the start up. In windows I am registered in Sweden and I managed to manually to set the date and clock right  but I am afraid the time may not be adjusted automatically for daylight saving and I see there is a slight difference in time compared to my desktop PC as I could not set the seconds when changing. The best solution wold be to tell the PC where I am and I hope someone knows how to.

Check Windows Time service settings

I had already set the time via windows, but I was not sure if the laptop also had a built in HP time-piece. Now I know that the time can just be set in one way. Let me tell you that I also used your support service via What´s App in Ireland on another issue and that worked perfectly. That other issue was a question about the super speed USB ports whether they are compatible with USB 2 items and I was told that they are regular USB 2 ports. I think you should mention this in the manual - I did not want to use force to press a USB contact into the port so as not to ruin the Laptop in case they were different.
