  • Here's how to use split screen on Windows 10.

  • In this video, we'll cover

  • a few window-snapping variations.

  • Use the clickable links below

  • to skip around to different options.

  • Windows 10 expands on the window-snapping features

  • of prior OS versions.

  • To start split screening, click and hold

  • on the title bar of the window to snap.

  • Drag it to the left or right edge

  • until your mouse cursor disappears.

  • When the window stops moving

  • and flashes an outline of the window,

  • you can release the cursor.

  • The window is now pinned to this half of the screen.

  • On the left, a collection

  • of other active windows will appear.

  • Click on any of your active windows

  • to snap them into that half of the screen.

  • A handy keyboard shortcut

  • for the two-window process

  • is the Windows and arrow combo.

  • With the window active,

  • click the Windows button

  • along with either the left or right arrow key.

  • The window will now automatically

  • take that half of the screen.

  • Repeat that process with another window

  • on the opposite side

  • or click one of the options that appears.

  • You can do three or even four snapped windows as well

  • on a larger monitor by dragging into corners.

  • Take a window and drag via the title bar like before,

  • but instead, bring it to a corner of the screen.

  • As this window is now snapped to a corner,

  • you can take another window to fill the space below.

  • With the right side filled,

  • the left will present options

  • to fill the remaining slot as a larger third window.

  • If you'd like to add a fourth from here,

  • take that left window

  • and drag it into a corner like earlier.

  • Then fill the final space with your fourth window.
