As support for Vista will end in april 2017 I'm thinking of using my other pc as main pc. It has win7 and though a gift it is actually a bit newer and more powerfull than my own pc. But it has one mayor flaw that I haven't been able to correct so far.
I've formatted it and done a clean install, but time and date show up wrong every time I start it up. Mostly being stuck somewhere in 2002.
It leads to all kinds of problems with software not working etc. because of the wrong time and date.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks!

Found this support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph04375 and have replaced the battery :) As luck would have it I still had some of those batteries in the house - now hope and pray they haven't expired LOL

Not really, because we are approaching "Now" is the winter of our discontent"", and I have not yet mentioned the cows and pigs
