How can I change Fonts in Windows 7 pro SP1?

Hello, I just want to make the current font in Windows 7 "bold" for
the menu, icons and change the font size so I can read better. I want
an itemized menu to do this not what Windows already shows me. Any
help please. TIA!!

Me too. In WinXP it used to be Display, Settings, Advanced; and you
could tinker with almost everything. I often had fun with that.

I will share.

Start>Help and support. In the blank write "change fonts" then click
the magnifying glass. You should see 30 choices, pick the 1rst choice.
now select the first option:

"Click to open Window Color and Appearance."

You should be able to make it from there. the window that opens up is
similar to XP. Cheers & good luck!
