How to Split a Laptop Screen Into 2, Especially for Windows 11

Windows 11 is the latest operating system from Microsoft which will be launched in 2021. One of the new features present in Windows 11 is the ability to split the laptop screen into two parts, so users can multitask more efficiently. For users who frequently work with applications that require multiple screens, this feature can be of great help.

However, how to split a laptop screen in 2 in Windows 11 may not be immediately obvious to new users. Therefore, this article will discuss an easy way to split the laptop screen into two parts in Windows 11.

The steps are as follows:

1. Open the application that you want to use.
2. Click the Maximize button in the upper right corner of the application window to switch it to full-screen mode.
3. Once the application window is in full-screen mode, click and hold the Windows key on your keyboard, then press the left or right arrow keys. This will move the application window to half of the laptop screen according to the direction of the arrow you chose.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for any other apps you want to use in the remaining half of the screen.

In this case, you can display the two apps on different screens, allowing you to work more productively.

Apart from that, you can also adjust the size of each window by dragging the dividing line between the two windows to resize each one. You can place more apps on the same screen by clicking and holding the Windows key, then pressing the up or down arrow key to split the screen into four sections. This way, you can simultaneously display up to four apps on different screens.

However, ensure your laptop has a large enough screen to display four applications simultaneously without losing display quality. This can affect your productivity if you force yourself to display too many applications at one time.
