If you're using a very high resolution screen (perhaps a 4k or a QHD panel), you may notice that Windows 10 looks really "small" at the default scaling option. To compensate for the huge number of pixels available on high-end displays, there are DPI scaling options which you can adjust to normalise the view.
This will adjust the text and interface size in most apps, so they appear a more user-friendly size on your display. Some older applications may be problematic and have rendering glitches, but most modern applications will be compatible.
