    Viewing On Dual Monitors two different Programs
    « on: October 13, 2020, 11:25:10 AM »
    I have hooked up two monitors to my laptop. I want to keep an excel sheet on one screen and a website on another screen. I want to be able to use both screens how can I go that? Went into display setting and set up screen 3 with excel but when I try to setup screen 2 it does not show up. I have clicked on extend desktop is this right?  Any help will be appreciated.

    When working with multiple displays, if you start 2 applications (in your case Excel and your browser), they'll both start on your "main" screen.  Once started, you can then drag one of the applications to the 2nd screen.
