To set different dual-screen modes in Windows, you can use the Display Settings provided by the operating system. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Right-click on the desktop and select "Display settings" from the context menu. Alternatively, you can go to the Start menu, search for "Display settings," and open the corresponding settings page.

  2. In the Display settings, you will see multiple monitors labeled as "Display 1," "Display 2," and so on, depending on the number of connected monitors. Identify the monitors you want to configure.

  3. To set different dual-screen modes, you have a few options:

    • Extend Display: This mode allows you to extend your desktop across multiple monitors, effectively creating a larger workspace. To enable this, select the desired display from the drop-down menu under "Multiple displays" and choose the "Extend desktop to this display" option.

    • Duplicate Display: This mode mirrors the same content on both monitors. It can be useful for presentations or when you want both screens to display the same content. To enable this, select the desired display from the drop-down menu under "Multiple displays" and choose the "Duplicate desktop on [display name]" option.

    • Second Screen Only: This mode disables the primary monitor and only uses the secondary monitor. To enable this, select the desired display from the drop-down menu under "Multiple displays" and choose the "Second screen only" option.

    • PC Screen Only: This mode disables the secondary monitor and only uses the primary monitor. To enable this, select the desired display from the drop-down menu under "Multiple displays" and choose the "PC screen only" option.

  4. Once you have made your selection, the display configuration will be applied immediately. You can further customize the display settings, such as screen resolution, orientation, or scaling, by clicking on the "Advanced display settings" or "Display adapter properties" links.

By using the Display Settings in Windows, you can easily configure different dual-screen modes based on your preferences and requirements.
