Thanks, Lilac. I agree it may be best to have a separate doc for Windows and I'd be happy to help. There may be differences between Windows 8.1 and 10 so it might still be a good idea for both of us to work on it...when we get the chance. Since people are already using the current one, I'd say we have time...nice to know there's no pressure. 😉 Go ahead and send me the Word doc to the email link in my Wiki signature below (it can also be found on my profile page, though it's a bit buried there). I have Word 2013 and can save it with changes tracked so when I send it back to you with revisions, you'll be able to see what I changed (you may have to turn on tracked changes too). If it takes me awhile to get back to you with changes, just let me know if you want me to send you something sooner.

As for the date thing one player encountered, I always have my date/time set to auto synchronize with time.windows.com, even when I'm TTing backwards, and, knock on wood, have never had a problem. I just manually change the dates to earlier ones while I'm TTing backwards and when I'm done, I manually change back to the current date. I think there must be some sort of set schedule at which Windows checks itself against the internet clock, in addition to the DST schedule, but I don't know what that normal schedule is and if my TT timing has coincided with it, I've never known it. I know removing that auto setting temporarily is part of the TT instructions for other platforms and I also did that when I had to fix the issue created by future TT in June but I can't remember if it was necessary for Windows. One of the many things I shall have to figure out if I do some future TTing when I start the PDF revisions. It may be a good time to check...I have a few days before the Vacation event ends and I already completed the challenges. 😊
