      Hey David, the ‘Display’ option path changed in newer versions of Windows 10. Instead of going through Appearance and Personalization, try right-clicking the desktop and choosing ‘Display settings’, then look for ‘Scale and layout’ to adjust text size. Alternatively, in newer Windows 10 builds you can search for ‘Make text bigger’ in the Start menu to get directly to the accessibility text size slider.
