Windows 10: App Task Bar

At work, I am able to shrink multi-open apps from the top to bottom taskbar and then grab them as I need. I can't figure out how to do this on my laptop or if it's even an option. I hope that makes sense. I'm only a middle-of-the-road user and some of these settings and how to get to them can be confusing and overwhelming. I appreciate any help I can get.
