For those with a large monitor, above 17 inches, it is useful to know that it is possible to divide the screen so that two windows can be placed side by side or even more and keep them open together. A great way to fill that space and take full advantage of the potential of a large screen is to divide the monitor into different areas and move the selected windows between them.
Windows Snap is the name of the default function of Windows 10 and Windows 7 that allows you to place two windows on the screen side by side, horizontally. To use it, just move a window by dragging it all the way to the right or left and then choose the other window that, automatically, will be positioned next to it.
Below, however, we see 5 programs to add to Windows (one of 5 depending on your preferences), which allow you to divide the monitor screen to use multiple windows together vertically or even horizontally, so as to optimize the space and the arrangement of the windows on the desktop.
1) GridMove, seen in the article on programs for aligning windows on a grid, It can be used to split screens horizontally, placing a window above or one below or even placing windows at each corner to divide the screen into 4.
2) Winsplit Revolution is another program capable of dividing the computer monitor exactly as the user wants. From the default setting, where the screen is divided into two parts vertically, you can also divide the screen into 4 fractions and use four independent desktops at the same time.
A nice feature of the program is that it is its flexibility to the needs of the user so that the computer monitor can be divided in any way you want . The program can be used via hotkeys and supports drag and drop, in order to move windows from one frame to another, in the right place. The keyboard shortcuts consist of CTRL-ALT and a number and the layout is modified according to the configured profiles. Other keyboard shortcuts are available for other operations like maximizing or minimizing windows. Winsplit can be installed or used as a portable application, it works on Windows 10 and Windows 7, requires about 8 megabytes of computer memory when running.
3) Acer Grid Vista is the third of these programs capable of dividing the monitor into independent portions of space. Despite the name, it works with Windows 10 and Windows 7. It is a freeware program that allows you to divide a monitor into multiple sections .
Very easy to use, very light as an impact on RAM memory, it works very well, it is stable and does not weigh down the PC.
4) Maxto is a Windows program that allows you to divide your computer monitor screen into different sectors that act independently of each other. The practical effect is that, when maximizing a window, it only fills the area of the desktop where it is located, leaving the rest of the screen free. This makes it very easy to consult the contents present in different windows, for example, to align and combine the windows of programs with each other, without having to manually change the size of the window all the time. Maxto also supports multi-monitor, i.e. the use of the PC with two monitors together. In general, whether you are using a single monitor, or if you have two, at the first run, Maxto starts a configuration procedure in which the user can divide the screen horizontally or vertically, in several equal portions. The portions of the screen can also be varied manually to make a larger and a smaller part depending on the applications and the windows that are kept open. It is also possible to load a preconfigured profile, without manually acting on the software. Using hotkeys, you can move windows to adjacent areas, or maximize full screen windows as you normally would. Maxto is a very small program but uses some memory, around 30 MB.
5) With Plumb, windows move and resize automatically on the screen
Finally, I remember as alternatives to these programs, the tools to create an extended and panoramic desktop that scrolls horizontally and the programs, very beautiful to look at, to create 4 or 6 virtual desktops, also in 3D mode, which can alternatively be used to operate with multiple windows. and multiple programs together.
