That's what I tried via some instructions on google, but there is no "Advanced Display Settings" in the window of this build. There was on the version I just replaced.

More googling and I think I'm SOL.

It says:

Select Start
Windows logo Start button
and select Settings
Gear-shaped Settings icon
> System > Display.
If you want to change the size of your text and apps, use the dropdown menu under Scale and layout. In Windows 10, you can no longer change the text size of a specific item.

(the bold type above is mine)

So I guess I can't make them bold either. That's all I really need.

Very rude indeed.

I can just change she size of all the fonts. At bigger sizes they create other problems.

Microsoft is getting more and more like the things I don't like about Apple. they are hiding things from the user and not letting us adapt the tool to our needs.

I've been farsighted since I was a teenager. Small, thin fonts are food for eyestrain.

Well, if there is nothing I can do about it, I'll just have to deal with it. I'm using a laptop (ThinkPad) but I can connect an external monitor if I find it too difficult to cope with.

Thanks for all your help.
