If I have the latest Windows 10 update, do I still need to install a program to keep the time accurate? I bought a TS-480 and use HRD DeLuxe, so goodbye Mac computer.

Hi OM,

personally I would still recommend installing the Meinberg NTP Client package. There does appear to be a new issue with that as I have heard reports that recent Windows 10 Updates have disabled third party time sync services and re-enabled the Windows Internet TIme Sync Service. This would be if the default configuration was suitable but it is not! Start here for setting u the WIndows NTP Time Service:

It is not trivial which is why I still recommend Meinberg which much simpler to set up.
