Windows 10: Icon size and fonts

Need help please. Love the Win 10 preview. My problem is some of my icons are too big or too small. Half and half on the desktop. My fonts are so small I can hardly see them Also my icons are just about touching. Need to space them better.On Explorer the text is fine but when I go to the address bar they are so small I can't see them very clearly. Would appreciate any help. I am running a L34 Ultra wide monitor at 3440x1440.

My second question is I bought an extra SSD hard drive to load the 10 preview on and left all my win 8.1 pro on my bigger SSD hard drive. I want to0 upgrade it to the bigger T-1 SSD EVO Samsung. Will the upgrade know that I want to put it on my EVO SSD?

Thank you for any help

how to make font size larger in file explorer...

Doing that changes the size of the icon or folder icon but not the font size of the text

 

Sudden increase in Font size everywhere

The font size of icons as well as font size of everything in the file explorer increased suddenly. Its at 100% scaling, but still is larger than usual. I also tried custom scaling
but did not work. The font size in the Apps window, start and tiles is proper but the font size of icon text, folders titles, disc names etc. is bigger than usual. please help

Thank you deleted email

 

The ability to set font sizes for individual elements is pretty much still broken. I discovered the keys in the registry that you can use to adjust this, if that is something you are comfortable with.

In the meantime, you can right-click on the desktop, select Display settings, and do a blanket scaling-up of your display. Going into advanced settings, the advanced tweaking of font sizes is just grayed out. They have got to fix this, and soon - I've given my feedback on this as have many others. I'm sure it will come along by and by.

almost certain it will install the upgrade onto what ever drive has win8.1 on it now

 

I just installed Win 10. I can go to Control Panel, Fonts, Change Font Size, and then change font text size for desktop icons, menus, etc..

 

You posted this same response in 6 different threads, many of which were fairly old.

 

If you wish, you can try this. It will allow to change different fonts and sizes:

I did, and I knew they were old, but they seemed to be all be all in need of the answer I posted. As a new Win 10 user I searched for how to change text properties and found the threads before I finally figured out how to do it.

 

Okay, good point. Thanks for taking the time to do so.

And welcome
