    How to make Win10 use inches instead of cm


    All the answers currently in the Community on how to change the measurement unit from cm to inches are out of date. The solutions offered in the Community as of Oct 22, 2022 do not work in the current Windows 10.So, I repeat the question, how do I change the default measurement unit to inches instead of cm?

    printer margins in inches not cm

    just recently installed Windows 10 v2004 preview. but both Chrome and Firefox browsers are showing printer margin settings in inches not cm. Print preview in chrome shows margins in inches yet the page is set to A4. I've check me Dell 3330dn laser printer settings and default page size is A4. I've had this problem before and I think it got corrected by changing the page size from letter to A4. but its set at that already.

    my Windows 10 was installed from Windows10_InsiderPreview_Client_x64_en-gb_19041.iso so thats british english ISO not american english. I let Windows detect and install the printer driver for my Dell. I do have the install .exe but I just need the driver and nothing else.

    Firefox installed 75.0 win64 EME-free en-GB, again print preview shows margins in inches not cm.

    page setup in Notepad shows paper size A4 and margins in millimetres.

    Microsoft Paint - view rulers in inches?

    Hi. Kleineken

    I hope to help.

    You should know that to calculate the measurement in centimeters is the size in pixels of the image and the density of pixels that the image has, which is measured in points per inch (PPP).

    To know this information you can right click on the image, then click Properties and go to the details tab.

    What you must do is to divide the size in pixels by the density of pixels per inch, this will give you the measurement in inches that the image has, then you go from inches to cm (1 inch 2.54 cm).

    In this way, you can calculate them to inches since the program is predetermined and cannot be modified
