    Windows 10 virtual desktops on a single monitor

    I am sorry; I do need to be more specific. I understand how to create virtual desktops by pressing "New desktop"; and how to select one from a "preview" of the active virtual desktops.

    The picture in the previous post shows a "preview" of five virtual desktops, of which one can be selected. But, unfortunately, selecting one desktop hides the other four desktops.

    I understand how to use Snap in Windows 7 to arrange windows. Is there something in Windows 10 to arrange virtual desktops like Snap arranges windows?

    As I asked in my original post, I want to show two virtual desktops side-by-side on a single monitor. In other words, how to emulate multiple monitors on a single monitor. To my way of thinking, if virtual desktops cannot be arranged to emulate multiple
    monitors then what is the point of them?

    I am participating in the Windows 10 Insider Preview and have experimented with virtual desktops. I will gladly experiment some more.

    Windows 10 virtual desktops on a single monitor

    I have seen Windows 10 virtual desktops touted as a solution for people with only a single monitor. At least to me, that implies virtual desktops can be arranged side-by-side to emulate multiple monitors.

    Is there a way to arrange virtual desktops to display side-by-side?

    Virtual Desktops - Projector


    Let's assume I've created 2 virtual desktops in Windows 10. (#1 and #2)
    Is it possible to connect projector with a single virtual desktop only?
    Eg. Connect virtual desktop #1 with the projector. Now swap, work along virtual desktop #2 (to look privately for some references at the time of a presentation/projection) and swap back to resume the public projection at desktop #1?

    Please suggest any 3rd party tool (if any available) for this use case.
