Windows 10: want monitor 2 to stay and not change while monitor 1 can switch between 1 and 2

I use monitor 2 as a customer facing monitor for teaching, I want my desktop on monitor 1. Because I cant see monitor 2, I would like to be able to see a mirror of it on monitor 1 without swapping 1 and 2. i do not want the customer facing monitor 2 to show my desk top. how can I make this happen.

Change monitor 2 to monitor 1 and make it stay.

I did as you suggested, but the problem was not resolved. Windows detects the monitors just fine, but I need to switch monitor 2 to be numbered monitor 1. The main diplay has not effect, as once monitor 1 is turned on monitor two looses display.

 

Change monitor 2 to monitor 1 and make it stay.

The computer I am using is setup to run a presentation software, presenting to two large HD Tvs. The main control monitor is set as number 2, while the display monitors are set to number 1. The problem happens because the displays are running into a HDMI
splitter. The power of this is connected to a light switch that is used to power the sound equipment. When working with just the control monitor everything is fine, but when the sound system is powered on, I loose display to my control monitor. To fix this,
I need to turn on the mini display monitor next to the control, and then display comes back to control. I have switched the output cords on the graphics card numerous times, and windows automatically switches them back. I need the control monitor to become
monitor 1 so that once the sound equipment is turned on it doesn't mess up my display. I have set screen 2 as my main display, its just that when monitor 1 comes on windows wants to put it on that..

 

multiple monitors change 1/2 to 1 and 2

Hello sunconference, the reason why the Monitor is showing 1/2 is beacuse your current settings is set to Duplicate Displays. If you change that to EXTENDED then you will going to see Monitor 1 and 2 separately and you can change that under settings.
