    Dual monitor - Create independent screens.


    [Monitor 1] [Monitor 2]
    {Taskbar 1} {Taskbar 2}

    I want to have it so if I open Chrome is Taskbar 1, it'll open on Monitor 1... and same with Taskbar 2 on Monitor 2.

    Right now, they all open on Monitor 2 (primary). Any ideas how to make it if I click on an icon on T1 it'll always open on M1 and T2 on M2?

    :)

    DUAL MONITORS

    How do you get dual monitors to work independently?

    On my second monitor, all that shows is the taskbar and icons.

    If I click on an icon, the program opens and shows on the monitor - and I can work on the opened program - but this same program is duplicated on my first monitor, irrespective of what ever program was open!

    Help please!!!

    Dual Boot Install

    Yes, you can install a second copy to either drive and activate it with a new Product Key. I showed you how to do it booted either independently by the BIOS or creating a Windows Dual Boot menu. This is important because the first method will keep both
    drives independently bootable, while the second method will create a WIndows Boot Manager in which the second install is dependent upon the first one's boot files until it is made independently bootable using the method I gave.
