Solved Fixed laptop. Now the clock is wrong, and most websites respond "Secure connection failed" Connected?

My MSI GS75 Stealth laptop died and I've been sorting it for a few days. I got it up and running and thought everything was working. However, when I opened FIREFOX, most (thought not all) of my bookmarked sites give the response, "Secure connection failed". (Opening in Edge is the same) Then one site's error message was, "Your clock is wrong..." and sure enough it is. It is showing 4/20/2024 when today is 4/26/20. I think the 20th is the day I first disassembled the machine. Could this be affecting the browser problem? I went to windows Time & Languages but can't find where to change the computer clock.

Edit:
Yes. Incorrect clock was the problem. Rather than deleting this question, I'm leaving in case someone has the same problem.

Don't bother vwith the Time and Language in Settings. Instead, go to Control Panel, Date & Time, and that will show you this panel:



There, click Change date and time, and you'll see this panel:



There, click on the correct date, and use the buttons to reset the clock, and then hit OK.

It is very usual that a browser, entering secured sites, looks at the date/time to be assured the connection is safe.

PS. Please mark the topic as solved.

The easiest way to get to Control Panel is to click Start, and then type Control Panel and click the App button.
