+# Overview #
+
+Installation notes for Windows 8.1 Pro workstation.
+
+# RTC / NTP #
+
+Since we prefer to set the RTC to UTC but Windows expects the RTC to be localtime, create/set the following registry entry.
+
+    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\RealTimeIsUniversal -> DWORD 0x01
+
+After saving the changes, right click the clock on the taskbar and select "Adjust date/time". On the "Internet Time" tab, disable NTP. The RTC can now be set to UTC and Windows will both correctly interpret it and avoid changing it.
