Proceed to choosing "Display Settings" where you will then find a slider bar with xxxx by xxx pixels.
Hold the slider button with your mouse button pressed and slide it towards the left once.
Proceed to selecting apply at the bottom left of the window, this will then make everything a little bigger. You may repeat as needed until you become comfortable with the screen resolution.
