How on earth do I change the text label size beneath my desktop icons? (Windows 10)

I keep searching but it never seems to give me an answer. Basically, I would like to have the text be black so that I can read it more easily.

It's not urgent, but it is aggravating.

Thanks in advance.

Then look for text size or zoom. Increase it to 125% or 150%. I forget what it's called but you'll see it in the display settings and figure it out. One size will be preferred or default. Go to a bigger number. I am on a different computer running Linux right now and can't look up the exact words.

So not sure if it's identical on 10.

In 'Display' settings as Jerry said, look under Scale & Layout, Scale.
