Time and Date are controlled by the Windows Operating System.
I have a real old old Toshiba laptop circa 1997 (I "obtained" it in 2002 out of a dumpster where I had "recovered" many other computers in prevous weeks) and had the same problem with a cursor pad that was broken AND the 'nubbin' that is stuck in the keyboard was too dried out to be of much use as it lost its sensitivity to light finger strokes ; you just can't live with those Toshiba's without a mouse!
Before I get started it is far easier with having access to a mouse - borrow one or but a cheap one is my advice.
That said, are you able to open the Windows Start menu using { Ctrl + Esc } on the keyboard? Assuming you have Windows.
If so, use the ^ (up key) to scroll up to Settings, then use the right arrow > to highlight Control Panel, then hit the Enter key.
Once you get the Control Panel open you can use the Tab key repeatedly to navigate to Date and Time. When you get to it hit the Enter key.
When the Date and Time window appears, use the < and > arrow keys to get to the correct date; just hold the > key down to scroll forward to the correct year, then the month, and release that key when you get to February and then start tapping it slowly to advance one day at a time.
Once the Date is set, use the Tab key to navigate thru each of the 3 Time fields - Hrs - Minutes - Seconds one at a time; set each with the keyboard or use the Up & Down arrow keys.
Hit Enter when the time is correct to "lock" those 3 fields.
Then hit the Tab key twice to move to the OK button and hit Enter
Back in the Date and Time window hit Tab once to open the Time Zone window. Then Tab to the Time Zone button.
You can used the Up or Down arrow keys to select the correct Time Zone. Once your Time Zone is correct hit Enter to leave that box.
Back in the Date and Time window, hit Tab until you get the OK button to light up.
Then hit Enter to OK that selection and save your settings.
As I said, a lot easier with a mouse.
