Windows 10: Set Different Dates On Dual Boot?

I have a multi-boot (10, 7 & XP) system and would like to change the date on 7 or XP to Feb. 2012. Is it possible? With all the utilities out there, surprised I could not find any on line. Thought with virtual-everything these days, there should be a utility to control the date on the other OS. Just checking if it is possible. Will still keep the main OS (Win10) at current date and time (Time Zone).
Thanks in advance.

How to set different ring tones in dual sim?

I agree and switched to Android. Just a word of warning to others doing the same - I initially went for a Sony and it had this feature. However when I upgraded it to marshmallow the option disappeared. I queried this with Sony who said it was the o/s
that did that.

that is nonsense as I then changed to a Samsung running marshmallow and subsequently to an LG G4 and both work fine.

But it is worth checking that the facility is available as it is widespread but not universal on android.

That pertains only to notifications and not ringtones which are not present on this list.

 

Windows 7 and Windows XP should both have options in the adjust date and time settings to turn off automatic time setting over the internet. The problem, I believe, is that the operating system also updates the system clock in bios/UEFI. So when you boot into Windows 10, it would change the system clock in bios/UEFI to the current time. Then when you return to Windows 7 or XP, upon booting the OS would read the system clock in bios/UEFI and startup with that date/time setting.

 

Ditto. If you turn off time sync, and then adjust the time manually, it will likely get set in the BIOS to match. Then on the next boot into Windows 10, it will sync and reset it to the correct time and date. Wash rinse and repeat. Why Feb. 2012?

 

Time sync has always been a PITA with Dual boots.

 

Looks like you miss-read my message. I do NOT want it to "sync". I would like Win10 to be correct time and date and XP to maintain (unsync) amd maintain and start from February 2012. Guess it is not possible since you mentioned the BIOS system time control.

 

You might be able to create a powershell script or bat file that runs upon booting which resets the date/time to what you want.

 

Yep. That's what I am looking for. A bat file or a utility to install. Can't write scripts for OSs. Just wondering if anyone has come across such. Thanks though.

 

I believe the bat file command for setting the date would be:

date 02-01-2012

The format is date mm-dd-yyyy

 

Did not misread anything. This problem has been long going with Dual boot aystems not having one OS installed sync properly, since the bios clock is affected by the first OS booted up forthe day.

Been doing this for over 30 years and the UTC problem can only be solved if you force a clock update when logging into the OS.

 

Clock is physical/electronic device. OS doesn't have a clock, it just reads time/date from BIOS.

 

Sometimes the English language gets the best of me!
May not have meant it the way you thought. Why I used the word "mis-read" was because, when I googled for information, I kept seeing the word 'sync' and people who want to sync their main boot to the other boots in the machine. I am the opposite. So, the word "sync" kinda makes me feel I was being directed in the other direction. So, 'bro67' don't be offended by that.

Wish I could find a utility that would keep the date I need by independently reading from the BIOS and maintaining the date I specify.

Since this laptop is an old spare I have always had, I just set the date back to what I needed (which affects all the rest of the OSs in it. That's okay. I went to the system and set it not to correct the clock from internet or time change. Guess this will work!

 

That is okay. There is actually a Registry fix for this UTC problem. There are some third party programs also that will update time when booting up.

And yes it is a PITA with either Dual Boot, or having to use say Clonezilla to back up a system.

 

I'm asking only out of curiosity, but what would be the point of doing this? It seems like it is a path towards issues and instability.
