"Font size control in WIndows 10"


          

Hi Folks

I installed Windows 10 this morning as an upgrade from 8.1 and I am regretting it already.
I am legally blind and as a result I always change the view in file explorer to “detail view”
and change to a larger font size set to BOLD. I have searched the web in vain to find
a way to do this in W10. Does anyone know how to do this? I am willing to change the
registry if need be.

Eric

I'm not sure if is what you want but if you go to settings>Display you can change the text size but not sure how to do the bold font.Edit: this article covers some of the font issue.

It talks about font size but there maybe other things that pertain to your issue.

Right click on the screen and choose Display Settings. There is a slider on the App window from 100% recommended to 175%. This would be the same as changing DPI in the other operating systems. This will change the size of everything on the desktop.

After poking around I found you can go to the Control Panel, Fonts, Change Font size and change the size as well as check a box for Bold. Between the two methods you should be able to adjust everything so you can see it better. This will change the size of the font only.
