Windows 10: Windows thinks my Display 2 is Display 1, how to fix?

My graphics card has clearly labeled DP outputs, Display 1, 2, 3 (HDMI), & 4. Whichever monitor gets plugged into Display 1, that's the monitor the mobo text shows up on, bios uses, etc. It's my center monitor, and Display 2 is off to the side. However, Windows identifies Display 1 as Display 2. I would like it to think it is Display 1. Is it possible to change?

Yes I know I could go in display settings and make Display 2 my primary monitor, and move Display 1 off to the side, but that hurts my OCD. #firstworldproblems

Any way to fix this minor inconvenience? Thanks

Hi Raven,

You can choose from the list of monitors, which screen you want to make as your main display. To do so, please follow the steps below:

• Right-click on your desktop, then select Display settings.
• Under Customize your display, select which screen you want to make as the main display.
  
• Check Make this my main display, then click Apply.
