windows 8 display question

[devonwoody]

How do I alter the display on a W8 to a larger print please?

Cannot find the display or control panel like w7


. It was so difficult to read the screen on a laptop from 600 mm distance from screen.

Hold ctrl down and turn the wheel on the mouse.

Thanks Phillip, I will use that next time I visit that laptop. Sounds so simple.

or possibly (works on most platforms) hold down ctrl key and press + for bigger, - for smaller and 0 (zero) for back to normal.

Thanks for that information the plus worked as well in w7.

However it does not work at the mail page but works here on the forum web page. thats strange isnt it?
