1. Go to Settings > System >
   Display.
   
2. Now under Select and rearrange displays click and hold the
   monitor 1.
   
3. Now move it above the monitor 2 and adjust accordingly.
   
4. Click on Apply and close settings.
   

After changing the settings you will be able to scroll up and down on the stacked monitor setup.



Hope it helps.
