Yes you will have an alarm clock Sal, but your computer will also have a calendar which you may find will suit you better than a clock.

I put all my appointments (and birthdays) into my Windows Calendar, and then set the day I want to be reminded. For birthdays I make it a week so I have time to buy and send a card, and for appointments I set it for the day before, and on the day of the appointment I also get a reminder in the morning (or you can set it to a certain hour).

If you'd rather have an alarm clock, go to the help function in your START menu and type in alarm clock. Your computer will then find the link for you. You can find your calendar the same way.
