Windows 8.1 Update 1 is expected to launch in March and even though the Redmond-based tech giant has remained completely tight-lipped on what’s going to be introduced in this release, several leaks show us what to expect.

A new batch of screenshots revealed by leaker WZor, Windows 8.1 Update 1 supports “extra extra large scaling of the Windows desktop and applications,” an update that would clearly come in handy to many users out there.

As you can see in this screen, Windows 8.1 Update 1 packs several magnification options, starting with smaller and ending with custom, which is by default set to 500 percent.

Microsoft hasn’t yet released information on Windows 8.1 Update 1, but according to people close to the matter, Redmond plans to launch it on March 11 via Windows Update as a free download for all those who are already running Windows 8.1.
