How to change Clock format in Windows 7 / Windows 8

In Windows 7 or Windows 8 by default Time is displayed in 24 hours format. I personally don’t prefer this and I get confused sometimes. So, I just thought of sharing the info.

How to change Clock format in Windows 7 / Windows 8 to 12 hours

1. Click on Clock > Change date and time settings.
2. Click on Change Date and Time.
3. Click on Change Calendar settings and navigate to Time tab.
4. Under Time formats, Select hh:mm tt or h:mm tt. Here ‘h’ (small h) means 12 hour whereas ‘H’ (capital H) is for 24 hours and ‘tt’ stands for AM/PM.
5. Select your desired Time format and click OK.

You can also change the Clock format by using this alternative method:
1. Click Start > Control Panel > Region and Language.
2. In the Formats window, Under Date and time formats Select Your short time and long time formats same as above (hh:mm tt or h:mm tt)
3. Click OK.
