Today’s Quick Tip….
Do you ever wish you could quickly “magnify” the contents of the screen on your Windows PC with just a keystroke?
Well, as luck would have it Windows 10 has a handy “Magnify” function that will greatly enlarge everything on the screen in a hurry…
All you have to do is press the Windows key and the + (plus sign) key at the same time.
This works a lot like pressing Ctrl+, but with Windows+ you can make the contents of the screen a LOT bigger by pressing the key combination just once.
When you’re ready to return the screen back to its original state simply press Windows- to reverse the procedure.
