#TWITTER FOR MAC INCREASE FONT SIZE WINDOWS 10#
There are a lot of possibilities shown, including the curious “change text size on ipad”, which suggests that Windows 10 can run on an iPad. You could ask Cortana or simply use the search box on the Taskbar directly. If you don’t like it - things CAN get a bit big!! - then try a different setting and “Apply” that one, until you get just the right size.īut let’s say you were curious about the search system.
You do? Restart so the system change is effective throughout the OS (it’ll prompt you to do that). Not sure what setting you’ll prefer, but you can slide it to different values then click on “Apply” and see if you like the new size. On a big, high resolution display, bumping it up a bit from 100% can be easier on the eyes, no question. You can see I have already tweaked my own settings to have all system text show at 125%. That’s the main place to make the adjustment you seek: the slider. To change the size of the display font text on your Desktop for icons and in programs, you want to modify your “System” settings, so click or tap on the System icon. Finally! Microsoft has updated the Settings view. That’s the new “Control Panels”.Ĭlick or tap on it and you’ll see one of my favorite updates to the Windows OS: Notice where the (big!) arrow is pointing. If you’ve used the previous systems, however, you’re now faced with two different ways of doing things because the advanced search system that showed up in Win8 has definitely made it into the brave new world of Win10, but, of course, with the resurrection of the start menu, there’s the old-school way of doing things too.įirst off, a click on the Start Menu icon on the lower left pops up the oh-so-colorful new menu:
Finally we can say adios to the start screen, to the full-screen “Metro” apps and welcome back the good old start menu. We’ve been running Microsoft Windows 10 for a while now and it’s definitely evolved to the point where the new official release really is a big step forward, a big improvement over both the earlier pre-Windows 8 systems and Windows 8 itself.
