Post title: LittleGemsAdmin's Desktop Zoom
So, I went looking in places where software from the golden age of little utilities (i.e. for Windows 95-XP) are stored, and found something that works reasonably well on Windows 10. LittleGemsAdmin's DesktopZoom. Developer's site [url= [url removed] ]here[/url], download page [url= [url removed] ]here[/url] (version 3.5).
When you run it, select the Fixed Window tab, choose "Normal" zoom, then hover your mouse over the top left of the area and press the spacebar, and hover your mouse over the bottom right area and press the spacebar. Optionally change the mouse pointer in the Mouse tab, and press Start. To stop zooming, press Stop or move your mouse all the way to the bottom right of the screen. Note: you can't put the zoomed window over the area being zoomed (you'll get a feedback loop), but you can move the zoom window around. It's possible (but a little tricky) to resize the zoom window -- try grabbing the top corners instead of the bottom corners. You can't interact with the zoomed content in the zoom window; instead, you have to move your mouse to the area being zoomed, and then look at the zoom window.
