How to reposition multiple monitors

Jun 17, 2020
Have you recently purchased a second monitor for your computer, but not sure how to set it up so your mouse goes across the middle of the screen? There is a quick and easy fix for that using the method below.

In Windows 10 it is easy to manage and configure multiple monitors. By rearranging their placement on screen, you can relocate monitors to the correct location. If you have monitors with different resolutions you can position these based on your personal preference, affecting how you move between the displays with your cursor. The flexibility of this feature makes any monitor positioning possible.

Step 1

Right click on your desktop and choose “Display settings”
Step 2

Select the monitor you want to reposition and move it within the grey area to the location that you prefer.
The simulated layout in this menu should reflect the location of your monitors on your desk. If you are unsure which number correlates to the monitor you are trying to rearrange, you can use the “Identify” option.

Step 3

After positioning your monitors click on “Apply”. The main display in our image is the red number 2 monitor. This primary display has the notification bar in the lower right corner of the screen.

To change your primary display, simply click on the monitor you want and tick the checkbox “Make this my main display” under the “Multiple displays” section.
