    virtual desktop as multiple monitor


    Hi, my workspace use 6 display monitor from 1 PC


    - 1 monitor for main PC display

    - 5 monitor for business-related display (opening browser on different pages)

    - 1 PC (i5 7th gen, windows 10 pro)


    Those 5 displays are extended via HDMI splitter. My problem is moving windows by dragging them is hard & time consuming. those displays are at long distance and sometimes visually blocked by something.


    Recently I find how virtual desktop works ( WINDOWS + TAB ) and it's so convenient if I could do the same for multiple monitor.


    I want to do these things for example:

    - sending windows from monitor 1 to monitor 5 without dragging them one by one.

    - seeing preview what's on monitor 2 or monitor 3, etc.

    - switching my main display to other monitor.


    How can I achieve the virtual desktop functionality but instead with multiple monitor?

    :)

    Multiple Monitors and Virtual Desktops in Windows 10

    Often I'm using an extra monitor when working on my computer with Windows 10. I like to put on Netflix or some other form of video on the additional monitor. However, when I'm switching between virtual desktops, the Netflix window travels with the desktop
    it was originally associated with, causing me to have to pause my workflow to manually move it with me.

    Is there any way to get a window to switch virtual desktops with me? Or better yet, a way to make the extra monitor have a virtual desktop all of it's own that can function when I switch between desktops on my primary screen?

    Any suggestions appreciated.

    Multiple Desktops on Multiple Monitors

    Hi everyone,

    I have multiple (virtual) desktops and I am extending my screen to an external monitor. However, when I change my desktop to a different one, it also changes the desktop on my second monitor. How can I keep my second (extended) monitor to a fixed desktop
    and change desktops on my primary monitor?

    Thanks,

    Junaid
