How to Change Font Size in Windows
If the text on your screen appears too small or too large, adjusting the font size in Windows is a simple solution. In this guide, we’ll go through the steps to easily change the font size in Windows for more comfortable screen viewing.
1. Open Display Settings
The first step is to access Windows settings. Here’s how:
- Click the Start button (Windows logo) in the lower-left corner of the screen or press
Win + Ito directly open Settings. - In the Settings menu, select the "System" section and then go to "Display".
2. Adjust Scale and Layout
Once you’re in the display settings, you’ll see options for scaling and layout, allowing you to adjust the size of text and other interface elements.
- Locate the "Scale and Layout" section.
- Open the dropdown menu under "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" and select the appropriate value. Options typically include 100%, 125%, 150%, and 175%.
- The changes will be applied immediately, and you can view the new text and interface size right away.
3. Customize Text Size Only
If you only need to adjust the text size without affecting other interface elements, follow these steps:
- In the "Display" section, choose "Advanced scaling settings".
- Look for the option "Customize text size" to set a unique scale specifically for text.
4. Change Font Size in Ease of Access Settings
Another way to adjust font size is through the Ease of Access settings. This can be helpful if changing the display scale doesn’t meet your needs.
- Go to the "Ease of Access" section in Windows settings.
- Select "Text" and use the slider to increase or decrease the text size, leaving other interface elements unchanged.
