Adjust a few useful Windows settings
Step 1 of 5: Open Settings
Select Start > Settings, or press Windows key + I. Use the settings search box if you cannot find a control. Search for the task, such as text size, rather than clicking through unfamiliar advanced options.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 2 of 5: Make text readable
Choose Accessibility > Text size. Move the slider, check the sample and select Apply. This changes supported text. To enlarge more of the interface, use System > Display > Scale and choose an offered value.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 3 of 5: Check sound
Open System > Sound and select the output device you actually use, such as speakers or headphones. Adjust the volume gradually and test with a familiar sound. A silent app may have its own separate volume or mute control.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 4 of 5: Check connection and power
Network & internet contains Wi-Fi choices. System contains power options. Read descriptions before changing sleep or battery settings, and keep network details unchanged unless you know what a setting does.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 5 of 5: Review and keep useful changes
Try an ordinary task with your new setting. Return to the original value if the change makes things harder. Avoid changing several settings together, because that makes it difficult to know which change helped.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.

A common question.
Will bigger text change a printed document?
Windows text-size settings usually change the screen interface. Printing depends on the document’s own formatting and the print dialogue.
