Is it possible to increase the "Make everything bigger" setting in windows through AHK?

Just so you know btw, I am very new to AHK, and I pretty much only know the bare minimum I needed to make my last script work.

Here's my problem. I need to use a very old program, which has no functionality for increasing the size of any element in it:

I am talking this small.

I've noticed that there is a setting in windows that increases the size of pretty much everything.

It even works for this program.

Is there a way to bind this to a hot key? Or even better, do something simular but only for a specific window/program?

If you search DPI scaling on the forum, you'll find some threads about it. This thread sets DPI scaling with a hotkey. https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?style=17&p=349429

"Make everything bigger" seems to be an Ease of Access feature though, so I'm not sure if it's the same thing as DPI scaling.
