Today’s featured tech tip….
How to make the icons on the Windows Desktop bigger
It’s no secret that as we age our eyesight tends to degrade. If you ever get to the point where you struggle to see the icons on your PC’s Desktop, there’s an easy solution that can help.
Both Windows 10 and Windows 11 allows you to increase the size of the Desktop icons, making them a lot easier to see.
To make the icons on your Desktop larger simply right-click on a blank area of the Desktop and click View.
Next, select either Medium icons or Large icons (depending on which size is best for you).
