Use the Windows Magnifier to zoom in on parts of your screen.

The Windows Magnifier is a great accessibility tool that allows you to zoom into any portion of your screen you find hard to read. This feature can be found in the Control Panel in the Ease of Access Center. It can also be quickly accessed by holding down the Windows key and pressing the + (plus) key to zoom in or - (minus) key to zoom out. When enabled, the Magnifier box and the current magnification will be shown, as seen in the picture.

Zoom

Zoom may refer to any of the following:

1. When referring to an image or graphic, zoom describes the function of focusing on a section of an image and increasing its overall size to manipulate or view in greater detail. The image at right is zoomed in 1600% of its original size.
As can be seen in the image, as you zoom into an image each of the pixels that make up the image grow and make the image appear pixelated or jaggy. Unfortunately, unlike in the movies, you cannot "enhance" the image to make a zoomed image clearer.
Tip
Many graphics programs and Internet browsers support the keyboard shortcut key "Ctrl+minus key" to zoom out and "Ctrl+plus key" to zoom in on a picture or web page. Also, "Ctrl+0" (the number zero) will reset the zoom to the default zoom level.
