Is there a way to make the font size bigger in Windows 10? It’s too small for me!

Windows 10 is flexible and allows users to make various customizations. Thus, changing font size is also possible.

Users can adjust to alter the size of the text, applications, and other items. However, you might also change the size of user interface objects, such as tile bars, menus, message boxes, etc.

All the necessary adjustments are controlled via Display Settings that can be accessed easily from your desktop once you right-click the empty area.

Here you will find a slide that allows changing the size of the font. By default Windows 10 set the slider to 100%.

However, if these recommended settings are not suitable for you, you can change it simply. If you have problems reading the text, you can turn the slider to 125, 150, 175 or even 200 percent.

If you want to change font size of various user interface entries, you should go to Advanced display settings. Here users can set the font size from 6 pt to 24 pt.
