Double click the text layer to open Blending Options, select Stroke, and set position to Outside. It takes literally 5 seconds.

I totally get it, Photoshop can feel so confusing with all these nested menus. Just right-click the text layer and select Blending Options to find Stroke.

I try to keep my computer tasks quick so I can go for my evening run. To add stroke, go to Layer Styles, click Stroke, and select your thickness.

Aap text layer pe right click karo, fir Blending Options pe jao. Wahan Stroke dikhega, usko tick karke thoda size bada do.

I always double-click on the blank space next to the layer name. It immediately opens the layer styles box where I select the Stroke option.

Haan, bas text layer pe double click karo na. Blending options khulega, wahan stroke select karke size toggle kar lo, simple hai.
