I recently purchased a BIAB tutorial from Groove3. The guy narrating this tutorial is using a Mac and one thing that stood out was his menu options was very easy to read.
I find the Windows 10 menu options and help text very thin and spindly making it difficult to read. Can anyone suggest a way to get a better (thicker) font for the menu options text.

It may depend on your screen resolution also. You can try this: Right-click on the desktop, choose Display Settings, then increase the Scale for the text size from the drop-down list.

Many thanks for pointing out that display option, I tried it but it made everything bigger not just text. I did find a means to just increase text via Start - Settings - Ease of Access - Display, but it didn't work with the BIAB help files. Its not a big problem I just noticed the clarity of the Mac text compared to Windows, but no I wont be buying a Mac just to improve the readability of the BIAB options/help screens.
Notes, many thanks this looks quite interesting, I'll give it a try.
I have queried this problem before in other software, Windows 10 seems to lack text display options especially with regard to software help files which as I said in my opening message produces a very thin spindly text font, which was only brought to my attention by the BIAB tutorial using a Mac system.
I'm tending to blame Microsoft for this issue but is there another software option PG Music could use to create their help files ?

From what I understand from tech experts, Windows is lousy compared to Macs when it comes to managing font resolutions and quality. I'd be curious if you find a solution as my own eyes demand larger fonts and it's a constant battle from one Windows app to another, most of which default to smallish fonts and don't respond to OS font settings.
I do what VideoTrack does, set the percentage larger on my 32" monitor. Caution: on programs that do not scale well, this can cause text to overflow the allotted space for it. You see this in BIAB.
I recall something called Clear Type that helped. I think I stumbled upon that still in Windows 10, but I'm not positive. It takes you through maybe eight screens where you say what looks better. Much like your eye doctor.
