I finally booted up my new (well, new to me; it's referbished) PC and I'm hella happier with how fast it is, but all the screens are teeny-tiny! I can barely see what I'm wriiting here.
I've looked at anything that says it's a setting file and nothing's changed, Help! I dn't need the eye strain!

Go to "Start", "Settings", "Control Panel", "Display" and go to teh "Settings" tab and play around with different "Screen Resolution" sizes.

Or, you could get a bigger screen.

Try a lower resolution. What size monitor are you using and what windows are your running?
Depending on the OS and monitor, the computer is going to "read' the monitors resolution. If it can, it will set itself up for the highest resolution it can. If it can't read the monnitor I don't know what it does. But you can override that setting if you find the icons too small. Use the slide bar to try out different resolution settings.
