I get several newsletters via email. The type size is too small to read. I cannot make the text larger using WIN7. Suggestions how to?

I have used Windows 10 since its inception. Upgraded to 8.1 which was an upgrade from 8.

The only problem that I have had with automatic updates early on is I lost my usb wireless connection and I had to re-enable it. Nothing else.

I use the desktop shell which makes it look just like win 7. Use web based emails (hotmail/live and comcast) since I don't need them on the computer.

Windows 10 has NEVER crashed on me. Not once.

Ctrl + larger, Ctrl - smaller, Ctrl 0 to return to original size.

Dell small business still sells desktops and laptops with Win 7.

Oops. Try the Windows key + or -.

To return to original size, use + or -, too.

It is kind of odd that you don’t mention what program you are using to view the emails. That is pretty relevant information that is needed here.

I hate Win10. I switched to Linux and never looked back.

After trying Win 10, I reinstalled Win 7. The updates to prepare for Win 10, disguised as Security Updates began to cause problems.
Confronted with the option of losing the use of paid software or turning off security updates, I instead opted for the best security update. I wiped the hard drive and installed Linux Mint. It beats the pants off of Windows.

True, that would be helpful to know. Something that might help a bit which applies to anything is:

From what I can tell, there's no step up from Medium. There's also the Magnifier tool as a last resort (look under Accessories|Ease of Access on the Windows Programs menu).
