Windows 10: On Windows 10 With Dual Monitors How Can I Drag Documents And Apps From Left To Right AND...

So the title says it all. If I want to drag a file, window, app to my second monitor which is on the left I need to drag it from the right side onto the second screen. Naturally since the screen is on the left I want to drag the object to the left onto the screen. It Instead I have to drag everything to the right edge of the main monitor in order to drop it on the left.There is a hard stop whenever i try to drag anything left. The same applies if i try to drag from the left screen to the main screen I have to first drag it left in order to drop it on the screen to the right.
