Dual Boot Windows and Linux - Fixing Time Conflicts

Your computer stores the time in a hardware clock on its motherboard. The clock keeps track of time, even when the computer is off. By default, Windows assumes the time is stored in local time, while Linux assumes the time is stored in UTC time and applies an offset. This leads to one of your operating systems showing the wrong time in a dual boot situation.

To fix this, you have two options: Make Linux use local time, or make Windows use UTC time. Don’t follow both steps of instructions or they still won’t be speaking the same language! We recommend you make Linux use local time, if possible.

Ubuntu maintains the hardware clock (RTC, real time clock) in universal time (UTC) by default while Windows maintains the clock in local time, thus causing time conflicts between Ubuntu and Windows.

In this day and age when people have multiple devices such as a PC and one or even multiple laptops or ultrabooks, dual booting might not be as common. Still, many people use a dual boot set up on their primary or secondary PC depending on their requirements. I have a dual boot set up on my primary laptop because it’s the one I carry around with me. I use both Ubuntu and Windows 10. They have their pros and cons, and I need both. Ubuntu like many other non-windows operating systems does support dual-booting because they have to. Windows 10, on the other hand, usually ships with settings that are not optimal for dual boot setups. This creates a couple of minor problems, one of which is Windows 10 displaying wrong time when you switch from Ubuntu to Windows 10. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to fix time between Windows 10 and Ubuntu in a dual boot set up.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 operating systems.Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).
