    Win 10 swapped my right and left screens--how do I swap them back?


    Just finished upgrading from WIn 7 to Win 10 Pro x64, and it seems to have gone well.

    But the background image and icons formerly on my left monitor are now on my right one, and vice versa. How, short of physically rearranging the displays, do I get them back where they were?

    :)

    Dual monitors not set up correct

    Right click on desktop > choose 'screen resolution' > and swap the '1' and '2' around by dragging them or swapping the cables... simple.

  3. Swap display port and HDMI port ourputs on Windows 10, Dell XPS 8920

    Just purchased a new Dell XPS 8920 with Windows 10 that has both a Display port and HDMI port. My new monitor has the HDMI port and my older smaller monitor uses the computers Display port with a conversion cable to DVI on the monitor. How can I swap
    monitor 1 (older) with monitor 2 (newer)? Windows lets me move the screens right and left but not swap primary #1 and secondary #2. Thanks for any suggestions; Capt. Brigg

    Go into the Display properties and change the right one from #1 to #2.

    I did that, so now most of the icons are on the proper screen. But somehow both now have the same background (the yellow one) and I'd like to put the cat picture back on the left-hand screen,
