Last week I upgraded my Dell e6500 to Windows 10 and I'm slowly getting things tweaked to the way I want them to be. Everything is legit and activated.

Yesterday I installed MS Office 2016 and this morning I started to configure Outlook and was going through the process when an Account Setup window popped up. And I couldn't READ the thing! :rolleyes: (See the area circled in red in the pic below.)

I already have Personalization set to increase Text sizes but it apparently doesn't affect the popup windows. I've searched the web but keep getting generic pages on how to set personalization.

How do I change the popup window text size? 🤷‍♂️

I don't know any way to change Settings window text size.

But 3 things that may help in no particular order;

  1. You could try Zooming, but that's a browser setting and may not help with Settings windows.
  2. Use Start button on the lower right of your Screen and type Magnifier in the search box and click it in the results. You can enlarge areas on the screen.
  3. And there is always this; 1605720784919.png

Can also hold down the Ctrl and tap + to enlarge, and - to reduce

Thanks for the info, guys. I was already aware of those options.

And upon further research, I've learned that it's a Windows problem and has been reported a number of times with no improvement made.

However, I did find a page with links to 3rd party software which can effect the changes. I haven't downloaded anything yet until I can find out more about that option. Caution and whatnot.
