With me, on Windows 7, it only shows the time. It only shows date and time if i change the taskbar settings (right click>properties) to show big icons. Maybe that was your setting in Windows 7 and 8?
To see the date I hover my mouse over the time. This arrangement suits me quite well, because I don't like the big icons.
The first 2 programs discussed in http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-tray-clock-replacement.htm might help, if they still work in Windows 10. Worth a try.
Please tell your experiences.

Windows 7 and 8 gave the time and date on the lower right of the screen. Windows 10 only gives the time. I have spent some time researching and cannot figure out how to add the date.
If you were to ask me what time it is I could be within 5 minutes without looking even after I just woke up, but ask me the day of the month and I haven't a clue. I want my date back. Does any know how to fix it?
