It’s pretty easy to add extra clocks for different time zones on a Windows 10 PC. To start, click the clock on the taskbar in the lower-right corner of the screen. Right away you’ll see the new UI Microsoft has included that shows the time and a calendar. The round clocks are gone and replaced with a modern digital design. From here, select Adjust Date/Time near the top of the menu.
You can also navigate to Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time, but this way saves you a couple of clicks. From there, scroll down and select Add clocks for different time zones.
In the Date and Time dialog, under the Additional Clocks tab, check the Show this clock box. Choose the time zone you want and give it a name and click OK. Note that you can add two additional clocks.
After you’re done, click the clock in the system tray, and you’ll see the one or two other clock(s) you added including the one for your local time.
When you hover over the clock in the system tray, each of the time zones and clock names you added will pop up.
