the “Custom scaling” box to type in any scaling amount you like, from 100 to 500 percent. Heed

You can use the “Change the size of text, apps, and other items” drop-down menu to enlarge or
shrink everything on the current screen. The range usually extends from 100 percent to 300 percent—
but things will look sharpest at the recommended setting.
