I would also suggest using NTP. I have set it up and configured it using the
directions here ( http://www.satsignal.eu/ntp/setup.html ) and it works very
well.
One thing to note is that Windows 10 does have the built in capability to set
the time for itself, using a variant of SNTP. So I would be sure to turn this
off by disabling the "Windows Time" Service.
Also, be aware that using NTP on a system that isn't on all the time, or has
what I would describe as "asymmetric internet access" might cause NTP to be
slow in correcting the time, or only be somewhat effective. If you are only
looking to have it accurate to the right minute, then don't worry. But this is
better addressed elsewhere.

Subject: [time-nuts] What's the best Windows 10 ntp client?
At my amateur radio club we have Internet access via a WiFi dongle with a Pay
As You Go card. A Windows 10 PC is only powered up while we are there, so on
around 2-4 hours per week.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be the most suitable software to
run on our Windows 10 PC to set the time correct?
Someone installed "Dimension 4"

As far as I can see, this takes the time from one single NTP server, which I
believe is not a good idea. However, given we only run the PC on 2-4 hours
per week, maybe no ntp client will work well, but I would have thought using
multiple servers being better than one.
I am wondering if anyone has any better suggestions for software. .
Dave.
