ii. Windows 10 does not allow you to make the thumbnails bigger than Extra Large Icons. The maximum thumbnail size is 256x256 pixels. If you need larger thumbnails, you can use a third-party file manager such as XYplorer or Altap Salamander.
iii. Here are the steps on how to make all files view large icons in Windows 10:
1. Open File Explorer.
2. Click on the **View** tab.
3. In the **Layout** section, click on the **Large icons** button.
4. Click on the **Apply to Folders** button.
5. Click on the **Yes** button.
This will change the view of all folders in File Explorer to Large icons.
You can also make all files view large icons by right-clicking on a blank area in a folder and selecting **View** - **Large icons**.
**Note:** If you have a large number of files in a folder, changing the view to Large icons may slow down the performance of File Explorer.
iii. There are a few ways to resize a thumbnail image.
One way is to use a photo editing software like Photoshop or GIMP. Open the thumbnail image in the software and then use the resize tool to change the size of the image.
Another way to resize a thumbnail image is to use an online thumbnail resizer. There are many free and paid thumbnail resizers available online. Simply upload the thumbnail image to the resizer and then specify the desired size of the image. The resizer will then resize the image and save it to your computer.
Finally, you can also resize a thumbnail image using the command line. To do this, open a command prompt and navigate to the folder where the thumbnail image is located. Then, use the following command to resize the image:
```
resize image.png 100x100
```
This command will resize the image to 100 pixels wide and 100 pixels high.
**Note:** When resizing a thumbnail image, it is important to keep the aspect ratio of the image in mind. The aspect ratio is the ratio of the width of the image to the height of the image. If you resize the image without keeping the aspect ratio in mind, the image may become distorted.
