To make the icons on your desktop bigger, right-click your desktop, select View, and then select Large icons, Medium icons, or Small icons.

You can also use Ease of Access settings to make the size of all icons and text displayed in Windows bigger. To get started, select the Start button, and then select Settings > Ease of Access > Display, and then do one of the following:

  • To make just the text bigger, drag the slider until the sample text easy to read, and then select Apply.

  • To make everything bigger (including app icons and text), select a size from the drop down list. The default setting is 100% (Recommended).
