-How can we change the default time zone?

-How can we change the default calendar?

-How can we set the alternate calendar?

-How can we change the time format? 12 hour/24 hour?

Primarily we are going to focus as how we can change the regional settings in central administration as well as at the site level.

Change Time Zone settings in Central Administration:
-Open the central administration
