Why is my screen so big on my laptop?

Thankfully, Windows 10 has settings that can help. Say your laptop is super high-resolution, and requires scaling to keep icons and text from looking tiny.
Is there a way to adjust the size of the monitor?
If you’d like more precise options, you can click the “Custom scaling” link.
