Hey Karen,
You can change the Font & Font size of the text & comments in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
Open Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, navigate to Edit menu-> Preferences.
Select Commenting under Categories & change the font & font size.

the font size from 10 to 18, but the display was unchanged.
Help!

Edit PDF option just opens the browser page to get a paid version. Do you have the feature in the free version?

No. You have to use Acrobat to get this feature.
