Enlarging text
If you want Windows interface text to be displayed in a larger size to help you read things more easily, you can use a System setting to choose the appropriate size. This setting doesn’t control text size in apps, however. What it does control is text in Windows elements: dialog boxes, Settings windows, the taskbar, Start menu, and so forth.
Make text larger
- In Settings, choose System, and then click Display.
- Drag the slider for the Change The Size Of Text, Apps, And Other Items setting to the size you desire.
Click Apply.

Try This
If you have a touchscreen computer, you can also use your fingers to expand or reduce the display of many apps, including the Microsoft Edge browser. To enlarge the display, simply put two fingers together on the screen and spread them apart. To reduce the size of the display, place your fingers apart and pinch them toward each other.
TIP
The Magnifier Ease of Access feature zooms in on areas of your screen to help those who have low vision see the screen as if they were holding a magnifying glass to it. See “Using Magnifier” on page 88 for more about using this feature.
