    Put this in the form’s OnLoad override or Load event handler:

            this.Font = new Font(this.Font.FontFamily, 1.25f * this.Font.Size);
    

    Which takes advantage of the built-in autoscaling as configured by the AutoScaleMode property. Whether that will keep the layout intact is a unguessable, you’ll have to try.

    Your customer can do this too by increasing the video adapter’s DPI setting. On Vista and up, going past 125% (120 dpi) triggers compatible DPI scaling. Which makes the OS lie about the DPI setting and produces a larger window through bitmap scaling. Makes it fuzzy but big enough to be usable.
