For Dells, you don't look at the silly names such as Inspiron or Vostos. Find the Service Tag number. Enter that (seven alpha) number in Dell. It shows you everything unique to your machine AND all relevant updates awaiting your curiosity. Date time clock functions would be listed under BIOS.

However I would not bother. Fixing things - especially BIOS - without first identifying a problem is the classic recipe for disaster.
