Tiny screen where it was previously a full screen in Windows 7 or 8.

This caused the entire screen to shift because the monitor wasn't configured for 59Hz in its hardware settings. I had the exact same problem with one of my PC's that I upgraded to Windows 10 after the upgrade, the display driver was using 59Hz instead of the regular 60Hz, which I had previously set. The reason your display is shifted is most likely because Windows 10 installed a new display driver, or changed the display frequency settings to something other than what you had set in your previous operating system.

I just installed Windows 10 over this past weekend, but my LCD monitor's display seems to be shifted to the right, and the fonts are fuzzy.
