If your using a windows desktop your going to want to change the display scaling.
Just search "Make Everything Bigger" in the Windows search bar.

I'm searching, but it's really only giving me basic options - not at all like the google results I've been getting. Just custom overall scaling which... scales unequally.

Just want to make sure, is this what you tried changing to a higher percentage (image below)? The option that I have at 100%, if you change it to something higher it should pretty much do the same thing as the google chrome zoom thing , but for your whole computer.
Resolution should be kept to display resolution.

Yes, that's it. I have it set to 133% - it's hard to really adjust on the fly because it makes me log out each time

There also seems to be a blurry fix option in the advanced options, "Advanced scaling settings". It's not something you should need to change on the fly.

On desktop, right click > Display Settings > Scale and layout > 125%

Hook your laptop up to a nice big HDTV with an HDMI cable :)

I dunno, Fate, if I wanted to be tethered to a monitor I would've just got a desktop. (though hooking up to a big HDTV is the plan when I play games w/my girlfriend)
I suppose I'll get used to it, though I have a feeling that there's just some option I'm missing. If only I could get the 'advanced scaling options' to show...

On my laptop, I've got it scaled to 125%. Otherwise, some programs have different options. I know for Steam in the Interface options, there's a little tickbox for 'Scale text and icons to match monitor settings.' Should make it bigger for you? I hope D:
Otherwise, I don't know if this helps, but there's also an option of ClearType text for the blurriness?

I tried both of those things, and it's not helped much w/Steam. Both checking and unchecking the box - though I'll keep playing around w/it.

What resolution are you using? Notifications normally look alright at 1080p.

Have you tried changing the DPI scaring? https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5990-change-dpi-scaling-level-displays-windows-10-a.html

That's very kind of you! After fucking around with different options and restarting a handful of times, I did indeed find a solution.

Hello, SG, I'm wondering if you can help me!
I just upgraded my five year old laptop to a gaming laptop, and it is honestly a dream. Everything runs so smooth and so pretty, and I can actually play 3D games on really good settings. It's quiet and runs unspeakably well. It's like living in a cardboard box for years and now finally having the keys to my own home.
One thing I'm having trouble getting used to, though, is a higher resolution. Everything is far smaller than I'm used to! Old programs (I still use iTunes 10 because reasons) are blurry. Steam notifications and achievement pop-ups are half the size I'm used to them being.
I looked into changing the resolution overall, but there's no good middle option - anything less than 1920 x 1080 is unworkably small. On Chrome, I can just zoom in a little - I'm writing this at 110% as we speak - but that doesn't work everywhere. Any advice?
