Change text size on Windows 11
Microsoft documents Start > Settings > Accessibility > Text size. Move the slider, inspect the sample and choose Apply. This is a reading-size preference rather than the font menu used to format a Word document.
Use scale for a larger interface
If images and application controls also need to grow, Microsoft points to Display and its Scale options. Text size and scale have different scopes. Choose the smallest change that makes the actual work comfortable rather than assuming every element needs the same adjustment.
Magnify a particular area
Microsoft documents Windows+Plus to turn on Magnifier and zoom in, Windows+Minus to zoom out and Windows+Esc to exit. Use it when a closer view of part of the screen is the task. It is different from changing the document’s saved point size.
Distinguish Windows versions
Microsoft’s Windows 10 instructions use Ease of Access > Display instead of the Windows 11 route. Follow the section matching the installed version. If only one authoring app’s text is small, keep its document-formatting controls separate from the operating system’s viewing preferences.
Your questions, answered.
Does Text size replace the system typeface?
No. The documented control changes text scale rather than selecting a new family.
Which option makes images larger too?
Microsoft directs users to Display > Scale for a broader interface enlargement.
