Set text scaling
- [Instructor] You can change the size of text in the Windows interface to make it easier to read. Go to Settings, to the System category, to Display. Changing your display resolution affects the sharpness and quality of your screen, but can make the interface smaller. The scale percentage can help you adjust this, but it changes the size of all interface elements at the same time. If you need to change the size of text without changing anything else, neither of these give you the control that you need. Instead, go to Settings, to the Ease of Access category, then to Display here. Adjust this slider to make text bigger. Then click Apply. Text in the Windows interface is now bigger without affecting the size of buttons, menus, or other interface elements.
