To do this, swipe from the right side of your Surface screen, and tap the “Search” option at the top of the side bar. Enter “Display” into the search box, and you’ll get a “Settings” option. Select it then tap “Display” to open the necessary menu, which includes options for text size.

Step 2: The text on your Surface will be set at 100% by default. You will also have options to change it to 125% or 150% (and some Surface tablets may even include a 200% option). Select whichever larger text size option you prefer, then tap “Apply” to approve the changes.

Step 3: In order to make the changes take effect, you will have to log out of Windows, and then log back in. Performing this action should give you the bigger text sizes you desire.
