The date and time on my PC keeps on reverting to an old date. Please can
someone tell me how to stop this? Thx.

If the date/time reverts after the computer has been turned off, then
you need to replace your motherboard battery. This is very easy and
inexpensive (around $5USD or less).

Thx this is sounds like the answer. My mother's laptop has been having
problems and I was wondering whether it is possible the same solution is
needed. Do laptops function in the same way and is it possible to replace
any battery?

The laptop does have a motherboard battery, but you should check with
the laptop mftr.'s tech support.

Look closely at the case (and paperwork on the computer). Often there will
be a place where you can take out a screw and expose the battery. Do NOT do
that if you don't know ofr sure it's the battery though! Your mfg site
might have info on it too.
