Devices like the Microsoft Surface tablet are too small to host a full size desktop application.. 

It is generally accepted that those devices be ported to an external monitor for this usage or changing the size of the font on the device itself can help. In the explanations below , you can take advantage of the customization options provided by Microsoft in order to enlarge the font size. This this solution is not always consistent on very small screens, but can help if you are not willing to use a desktop monitor.

type “Display”  in the search box to show  the settings option. 
Select the display option and click on  “Display”  to open the menu

External monitor option


Most laptops today incorporate an HDMI or mini Display port to connect to a larger external monitor.
Tables alone are usually not made to run desktop application in a very efficient way, mainly because of the size of the screen.

In recent years, some smaller laptop and tablets like Surface pro make use of the USB C port along with an external adaptor to provide an HDMI or Display port.
The adaptor will depend on the external screen you will be using.
For a display such as a HDTV or projector, you may need a Mini DisplayPort adapter.
For a TV or computer monitor with only HDMI type of input, you will require a HDMI cable and an HDMI adaptor.
