How can I have a better experience of playing AOE2 DE on my Microsoft Surface pro 3 (in terms of gameplay and graphics)?

I just bought the game on steam and my computer specs are as follows:

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4300U CPU @ 1.90GHz 2.50 GHz

RAM: 8 GB

System type: 64-bit

DirectX version: DirectX 12

GPU: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family

​

Note I am not using the enhanced graphics for AOE2. Although if I you recommend me to do so and it won't slow down my gameplay then I will install it too. I have noticed that the text appears too small for me on my machine and I'm not sure what to do about it. Like for example the text shown in the objectives, hints and scouts dialog.
