How To Split A Laptop Or PC Screen In Windows 10

 Nowadays, many people use two monitors while using a computer to perform tasks more

efficiently. And the same thing you get when you use split-screen features on your PC. On
split-screen mode, your computer screen gets divided into two halves and makes you feel like you are using two different monitors simultaneously. 

This guide will teach you how to split a Windows 10 laptop or PC screen to manage several tasks efficiently. The newer version of Windows 10 provides different ways for splitting the screen into more than one window with a higher-resolution. Let’s see the ways to split a screen in Windows 10. 

Use Snap Assist

Snap Assist is an excellent tool provided by Windows 10 for splitting screens. Follow the below steps to take advantage of it. 

 Select a window that you have to snap to one half of the display and take the window to the edge by dragging. 

 You will see a translucent outline that will help your snap. Go through it to snap the window. 

 The alternate way to snap the selected window is to tap and hold the Windows key and the Left or Right Arrow key. 

 If different windows or apps have opened and you are snapping a separate window, you will have many options to fill out the second half. Hit the one, and it gets snapped automatically at the opposite to the first window. If the selection grid vanishes, stretch the second window to the edge. 

 If you want to alter the size of the two windows, take the mouse pointer near the divider to see two arrows. Right-click and hold, and stretch the divider to resize the windows based on your needs. You can make a window narrow in a limited way. 

Use the keyboard shortcut
Using a keyboard shortcut, you can easily split the screen. Open a window and use the Windows key and Left or Right Arrow key to split the active window. 

How to snap more than two windows
If you use a large display, you have an opportunity to split it up to four windows through Corner Snap. Here is how to do it.

 Take the first window into a corner through drag and drop.

If you want to use the keyboard shortcut, use the Windows key and Left or Right Arrow key to snap the window to left or right. And use the Up or Down Arrow key to snap the window to the top or bottom. 

 Take the first open window in a corner, and then you have to drag and drop the second window to any available corner.

 Do the above step for other available corners. 

Customizing grids with a third-party app

Different third-party apps are available for more customization. These apps allow you to do grid-like changes to windows, providing you many useful tools with the right size. So, we recommend you to go with AquaSnap that is loaded with huge features. With this app, you can create many split screens according to your need, just with an easy-to-use snap function that works similar to Windows 10. You can also snap small windows to make one. The free version of this app allows you to do basic activities, including snapping, docking, stretching, using many keyboard shortcuts, and more.
