To change the timezone of your computer left click the :guilabel:`Timezone` tab and select your time zone from the long list. You also can search for your timezone in the search bar that says :guilabel:`Filter` when you type it in and is empty.
If you do not wish to synchronize your clock via network time protocol uncheck the :guilabel:`Enable network time synchronization (NTP)` checkbox. This can also be quite useful if you want to fix the time and Once NTP is disabled you want to be able to change your time locally you will be able to change your time by typing your time in the correct time in the :guilabel:`Time` field or using the up and down arrows.
