Sync now means “set my clock according to a master clock

online.”

Show additional calendars in the taskbar. As described on
“Keyboard Control”, you can click the clock on the taskbar to see a

miniature calendar, complete with a list of today’s events. The
options in this drop-down menu let you add Chinese subtitling to
the dates of the month-view calendar.

(For most people, the “Add clocks for different time zones” link is
more useful. It, too, adds pop-up clocks to your taskbar clock—but
for different time zones, so you don’t wind up waking someone in

London with an ill-timed call.)

Date, time, and regional formatting. What’s the first day of the

week? Do you put the month first, American-style (7/30/18), or the
date first, European-style (30/7/18)? How do you like the time
written out?

Region and Language

Specify where you live and what language(s) you speak, for the purposes of
tailoring the websites you see and the onscreen keyboards available to you.

Speech

Here’s where you indicate what language you speak (for the purposes of
Cortana and speech recognition) and which of Windows’ voices you want it

to use when speaking to you. This is also where you can set up your
microphone for accurate speech interpretation; if you hit “Get started,”
Windows asks you to read a sentence aloud, so it can get an idea of what

you sound like.
