3 Adjust your display
You can change your screen in several ways over and above
using themes. In Settings > System > Display you can adjust the
display resolution – how many pixels appear on screen at once
– or scale the size of text and apps, which is handy on high-res
screens. You can also adjust the settings for HDR and WGC (Wide
Colour Gamut) video playback, which includes videogames.


4 Add user accounts
Giving everybody who uses your PC a separate user account
is an excellent idea, especially for a family PC. If you’ve already set
up accounts for your family members on another PC or an Xbox
One you can add them in Settings > Accounts > Family & Other
Users. To create a new account click on Add A Family Member. If
they don’t already have an email address you can get one here.

more vivid images:

between the
brightest and the
darkest parts of an
imageorvideo.

WCG

is related to HDR, but
where HDR is about
brightness WCG is
about colours. WCG
displays can show
more colours than
standard ones and
look more realistic
asa result.

on-screen photo to
unlock your PC.
