How To Split Screen On Windows 10 | Snap Two Windows | FOR MULTITASKING & BETTER PRODUCTIVITY

In this video today, we look at how to split your screen using Windows 10. This is demonstrated using a Windows keyboard and associated shortcut keys. The split screen function is a great little feature to assist multitasking and productivity. It uses the snap assist feature (Windows snapping), which was introduced in Windows 7. This video shows you exactly how to set up and use the split screen function on your PC, computer or laptop.

The snap assist feature, as shown in this video, allows you to split your screen into two different windows/sections - vertically, as demonstrated. Despite being introduced in Windows 7, there are still a lot of people who don't know that it exists.

The split screen function helps you to organise your screen in a more effective way and is especially useful if you've only got one monitor. It's very useful when comparing data and much more. Plus you don't waste time trying to resize or reposition windows as the built in snap assist feature does this for you automatically.

Should you want to split your screen into 4 windows on one screen (using your mouse), I have produced a dedicated video on this -    • How to Split your Screen in Windows 1...  

FIRSTLY, for the snap assist feature to work, ensure that it is enabled on your computer, PC or laptop.

👉 TURN SNAP WINDOWS ON 🔽
1. Press and hold the Windows key + i to open settings.
2. When your settings page is open, type multitasking into the search box called 'find a setting'. The multitasking option should appear in the drop down menu as you type.
3. To select multitasking from the menu, use your arrow keys and press enter to select.
4. Set 'snap windows' to ON in the toggle box.
When 'snap windows' is enabled, you can also choose:
🔵 When I snap a window, automatically size it to fill available space
🔵 When I snap a window, show what I can snap next to it
🔵 When I resize a snapped window, simultaneously resize any adjacent snapped window
5. Once snap windows is on, shut down or minimise settings page.

2.Then ensure that the window is not maximised - Windows key & ⬇ then release keys.
3. Open second window (Word in our example) - To open from taskbar, press and hold Windows key + 6 then release keys.
4. To snap the first window (Microsoft Word as shown) to right half of screen, press Windows key + ➡ then release keys. Window automatically snaps into place.
5. The other programs/apps open on your Windows PC/computer/laptop will appear on the opposite half of the screen (left side as in case of video). Choose the program or app that you wish to use on the other half of the screen accordingly by using your keyboard arrow keys ⬆ or ⬇. Once highlighted, press enter to select.
6. Window automatically snaps into place. The desired app / program will open and fill the second half of your screen.
