Update date time using batch file

For dual OS, sometimes windows show date incorrect. You need to go setting and force windows to synchronize its date time.
The easy way and fast is using batch files. Using text editor, create batch files for example datesync.bat in your desktop. Write or copy/paste this code:

Echo off
Echo Starting Windows Time Service
net start w32time


Echo Syncronizing Date Time
w32tm /resync
pause

Everytime your date show incorrect, run this script as administrator. It will start windows time service (should not be disable on services.msc) and syncronize date time from internet.

Debian Stretch: Distribution Upgrade to Debian Buster (10)

Prepare apt /etc/apt/sources.list, change stretch to buster
my apt source list:

# Debian 10

# SECURITY
deb http://security.debian.org/ buster/updates main

# Main
deb http://kartolo.sby.datautama.net.id/debian/ buster main

# NON FREE
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free

# BACKPORT
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster-backports main

Note on error when running apt-get update:
E: Release file for http://kambing.ui.ac.id/debian/dists/buster/InRelease is expired (invalid since 265d 4h 18min 17s). Updates for this repository will not be applied.
use other sources e.q change "deb http://kambing.ui.ac.id/debian/ buster main contrib
" to "deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian buster main contrib"
If you used oracle mysql or oracle virtualbox, you need to modify to "buster" these files:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mysql.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list

Restart your computer

# uname -an
Linux fujitsu01 4.19.0-5-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.37-5 (2019-06-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux

You can clean and remove unused temporary to make your system "tidy"
# apt-get autoclean && apt-get autoremove

By default, Debian 10 use kernel 4.19, you mau remove your old kernel.
# apt-get remove linux-image-4.9.0-9-amd64

Note:
DO NOT DELETE linux-image-4.19!

Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N455   @ 1.66GHz (Fujitsu) takes 3 hours to completed. Don't worry, It's much faster then windows 10 update or windows update clean up LOL.
