1: Depending which build you have (to find it, hit Windows+R, type "winver", press Enter)
either:

 before build 15019: open Control Panel, Display, Change size of items, set a custom
scaling level
 build 15019 or later: open Settings, System, Display, Custom scaling
Enter the scaling level manually, even if it's one that's available in the dropdown. You'll
know you've done it correctly if you're prompted to sign out for the setting to take effect.
