Windows 10: make dialog boxes accessible for the visually impaired

I moved to a new computer with Windows 11. It is almost impossible to use, however, because I cannot read any of the dialog boxes/pop-up menus. There are two problems, the tiny font size AND an extremely low contrast color combination of very light tan letters on a bright beige background. Microsoft, PLEASE allow users to set an accessible-to-visually-handicapped theme for dialog boxes, customizable to personal needs. There desperately needs to be a way to increase font size, change to a bold font, and set text to a bright color and background to a dark color, in dialog boxes and pull-

I am visually impaired. So when I increase the font i loose a lot of screen space and my active screen gets very small. As the boxes where the words also get bigger. Do you have any solution? I do not wish to use the narrator etc. Thank you. Be safe.
