Ease of Access options can help make it easier to:

  • Use your PC without a display. The narrator lets you hear audio descriptions for elements on the screen, like text and buttons.
  • See what's on the screen. Make the content on your screen bigger using Magnifier, or use high contrast mode.
  • Use your keyboard. Turn on Sticky Keys, Toggle Keys, Filter Keys, or the On-Screen Keyboard.
  • Use your mouse. Change the pointer size, or turn on Mouse Keys to use your keypad to move the mouse.
