Laptop Windows 10 Question!

[Scarlett]

I have a new laptop, and the background is black with white text, generally. I find this quite hard to read and would like to change it to a white background with black text. I can’t seem to find an easy way to do this! Is this just the way it is on Windows 10, or can I change it?

Scarlett , go to your settings,control panel,appearance ,that should give you options, is it your actual home screen you're wanting to change though?

I think you've got the high contrast option turned on - this is supposed to help people with limited sight.
Right click on the windows icon bottom left and click 'settings'.
Type 'ease of access' in the search box in the panel then click 'high contrast' and toggle the switch to off.

Where is the picture that appears as a lock screen, but it’s just the general appearance of everything else. The screen is black with white text. I just wondered if I could alter that. For example, the Control Panel has a white background and nice green text with little icons – easy to read!

If you have the search bar bottom left of screen, type 'ease of access' then click 'contrast settings'. That might be a bit quicker for you :)

Found it! It was in personalisation - colour. I chose LIGHT over DARK. Thanks for your help!
