When I load my lightroom on my laptop it is too small to see or use.

Does anyone have an idea how to change the size of the display on my screen.  It doesn't help by changing my screen size of my display.

    Looks like your laptop has a high resolution screen (4K perhaps?) and that you have set the screen resolution to the native screen resolution. Set it much lower.

    Go to Edit > Preferences > Interface, and try a larger font size.

    Restart Lightroom for the change to take effect.

      If you want to change the size of the thumbnails, use the slider on the lower right corner of your screen.
