To add a virtual desktop, just click the Task View icon on the taskbar or press Windows+Tab.

Next, click the "New Desktop" button at the top of the screen so you can see another desktop to get to work on, and you can switch between desktops at any time in Task View by selecting the thumbnail.

You can also choose Edit, then click on Time/Date in the menu bar. The exact time and date will appear at the position of the cursor.
