Open ‘Control Panel’. Press Win+X in combination to bring up the Power Task Menu, in Windows 8. From it, choose ‘Control Panel’. Then, select ‘Clock Regional and Language Options’. Next, from the Region section, choose ‘Change date, time or number format’ link.

Now, from the ‘Region’ window that appears on your computer screen, select ‘Additional Settings’ tab.

Later, from the ‘Customize Format’ window, choose the ‘Time’ tab.

Here, change both the AM and PM letters to any name you wish.

Make sure that the format you are using has “tt” in it.

That is: Time Format = hh:mm:ss tt

Then, simply click on Apply > OK.



If you do not like the changes made, reverse them and restore it to default settings by simply clicking on the reset button or by changing it back manually to AM and PM.
