How to Change Text Size in Windows 10


Starting with Windows 10 build 17692, the ability to increase text size across the system is back and better than ever. You can use a new setting called Make everything bigger with a slider that will adjust text size across the system, win32 (desktop) apps, and UWP (Store) apps.

That means you can now make text bigger in Start menu, File Explorer, Settings, etc., without having to change the overall DPI scaling level of your system.

This tutorial will show you how to quickly change the text size across the system for your account in Windows 10.



Here's How:

1 Open Settings, and click/tap on the Ease of Access icon.

2 Click/tap on Display on the left side. (see screenshot below)

3 Adjust the Make text bigger slider to the size you want on the right side.

You will see a preview of the selected text size above the slider.


4 When you have the slider adjusted to the text size you want, click/tap on Apply.

5 You can now close Settings if you like.






That's it,
Shawn
