How to change the menu font size and tools size in Photoshop (CS5 for 4K monitor)?

Hello, does anyone know how to change the font size in the menu and also tools size in Photoshop? I just got a 4K display for Windows PC and everything is very small.

And no one has ever seemed to notice that this hack scales everything up, including the image. In other words, it turns your high resolution display (that you presumably paid good money for) into an ordinary low resolution one.

Proper 4K support came in Photoshop CC2014 (with considerable improvements later on). It scales only the UI, while maintaining high resolution in the image window.

Thank you! I recently purchased a new XPS and a large screen monitor and found I could not read the workspace texts in my Adobe products.  Shortly before Adobe switched everything to a subscription service I had invested in the entire CS6 Suite. (Academic version as I was taking classes at a local college) I'm in my seventies so do not need the latest and greatest programs/apps. I mostly use Dreamweaver and Photoshop and edit the occasional video in Premiere. But on this new system I was unable to read the workspace texts, as they were tiny. Changing the default resolution (3840x2160) did not help. Increasing the system display scale did help some but the text was too blurry. 

Your solution worked amazingly well and was quite easy.  I then reset the scale on the monitor to 200% and the text is now larger, not blurred and legible.  Thank you so much for a workable solution for those of us still clinging to our older programs.  I would never have figured this out on my own!

The BEST solution, quickest and simplest.  I've been searching for this solution for many months and finally found the GEMS ^_^
Thank you so very very much!! Greatly appreciate your sharing of knowledge.  
I'm using windows 11 - in case anyone needs to know if the provided solution works for windows 11 or not.

Thank you, that worked.  I changed it to 175% and reduced the font size in Windows and it worked.
