Issue with computer and time zones

Hello all!

I have a friend who has been experiencing some issues with the time on his Windows 10 machine. He is in the UTC +1:00 Timezone, however, he has to set it to UTC -1:00 because the computer thinks it's two hours ahead of what it actually is. Any way of fixing this?

Thanks

BOINC Setup:
i5 7200U @ Stock

Core2Duo T6600 @ Stock

i3 2330M @ Stock

i5 3210M @ Stock

Change it in the settings so that it automatically obtains the time. Change the time in the BIOS. One of the two.

Where would one look to solve that issue? In the BIOS I mean.

Most of the time, there's just a time setting. Is it a laptop?

He says it's a desktop. 

Prebuilt or custom? What motherboard if custom?
