Windows 10: change text size - how it works

If the text in Windows 10 is too small for you, you can change the text size yourself. In this way you enlarge the texts on the desktop, in the apps and in individual programs.

Change text size in Windows 10

By default, Windows 10 uses a text size of 125 percent. You can make them smaller or significantly larger if you like:

1. To do this, right-click on an empty space on the desktop and select the "Display Settings" option.
2. Then drag the slider for "Change size of text, apps and other elements" to the right to enlarge the text.
3. In this way you can enlarge the texts by up to 175 percent. Your settings are saved automatically, so you can simply close the window.
4. Tip: If the text size settings are not sufficient for you, you can enlarge Windows 10 with the screen magnifier.
