Get the Most Out of Split-Screen on Your Dell Laptop

Hey there! Let’s dive into the world of split-screen on your trusty Dell laptop. It’s a nifty feature that allows you to multitask like a pro, so you can get more done in less time. Here’s how you can make the most of it!

First things first, you’ll need to open up the applications or windows that you want to have on your split-screen. You can do this by simply clicking on their icons in the taskbar at the bottom of your screen. Easy peasy!

Now, to actually put these windows side by side, you can use a couple of different methods. One way is to click and hold the title bar of one window, then drag it to the left or right side of your screen until you see a transparent outline. Release the mouse button, and voila! Your window should snap into place.

If dragging isn’t your thing, no worries! You can also use keyboard shortcuts to achieve the same result. Hold down the Windows key and press the left or right arrow key to move the active window to the corresponding side of the screen. Talk about convenience!

Once you have your windows arranged on the split-screen, you can adjust their sizes to your liking. Just hover your mouse over the vertical line that separates the windows until it turns into a double-headed arrow. Then, click and drag to resize the windows. It’s like having your own customizable workspace!

Now, you might be wondering how you can switch between the windows on your split-screen. Well, I’ve got you covered! To switch focus from one window to another, you can simply click on the window you want to bring to the front. It’s as easy as that!

And if you ever decide that you want to go back to a single window view, just click and drag the window’s title bar away from the side of the screen until it fills the entire display. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!

Well, that’s it, folks! Now you’re equipped with the knowledge to make the most out of split-screen on your Dell laptop. Go ahead and boost your productivity like a pro. Happy multitasking!

Using a Dell laptop can be a bit tricky because you constantly have to switch between tabs and windows. This gets even more difficult when you need to do extensive research for a school project or your job. However, you can make things easier by splitting the screen on your laptop, allowing you to work more efficiently. Let me show you a few different methods to do this.

Splitting the Screen on a Dell Latitude 13-7350 Series

If you have a Dell Latitude 13-7350 laptop, you’re in luck because it has a built-in split-screen feature. This feature is perfect for multitasking, and it’s incredibly easy to set up. It works on all versions of Windows. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Open two apps that you want to see on the screen.
2. Press and hold the pointer on the second app, and the screen will automatically split.
3. Release the button to drop the application in place.

Splitting the Screen with Windows Snap Assist

You can split the screen on any version of Windows, including 7, 8, and 10. Snap Assist works on all laptops and desktop computers. The process may vary slightly depending on the version of Windows you’re using, so I’ll provide step-by-step instructions for each version. Keep reading if you have one of these operating systems on your Dell laptop.

Windows 7

Windows 7 was the first version to introduce the Snap Assist feature. With this feature, you can drag a window to the corner of your screen, and it will automatically “snap” into position, leaving the rest of the screen available for another window. You can disable this feature in the settings whenever you want. Here’s how you can use Snap Assist in Windows 7:

• Open two apps or windows that you want to use at the same time.
• Place your pointer on the top bar of one of the windows and hold the left mouse button.
• Drag the window to the right or left side of the screen.
• Continue dragging it until the window “snaps” into position, leaving half of the screen empty for the other window.
• Drag the other window to the opposite side.
• If you prefer, you can use the arrow keys on your keyboard instead of your mouse.

Windows 8 and 8.1

Microsoft designed Windows 8 and 8.1 with the assumption that most users would have touchscreen devices. If you own a touchscreen laptop or tablet running on Windows 8 or 8.1, you can easily get two windows into the split-screen mode. Simply pull the two windows apart, and they will snap into position automatically.

But if you don’t have a touchscreen device, here’s what you need to do:

1. Open two apps or windows, with one in full-screen mode.
2. Place your pointer on the top left corner of the first app. Hold the left mouse button and drag the window to the right.
3. Keep dragging until the screen is divided by a vertical line. The second window will automatically snap into place.
4. You can adjust the size of each window by moving the dividing line left or right.

If your computer has a powerful video card, you can even snap three windows at once.

Windows 10

As expected, Windows 10’s Snap Assist feature offers the most options. You can set it up the same way as in previous versions of Windows, but there are some extra choices available. Here’s how it works on Windows 10:

1. Hey there! So, first things first, open up a bunch of different windows or applications.
2. Next, place your cursor on the top bar of one of the windows and drag it over to the side until it “snaps” into place.
3. Awesome! Now, the first window or app will take up half of the screen. Click on another window and drag it to the center of the opposite side.
4. Now that your screen is divided into two, you can drag and drop other windows to each corner of the screen.
5. Play around a bit and try dragging and dropping windows in different corners of the screen to see how they automatically arrange themselves.
6. If you want to maximize a window, just drag it to the top of the screen. If you drag it to the center, it will go back to its original size.

And here’s a cool trick: once your windows are snapped into position, you can move each one by holding down the Windows key and the left or right arrow key at the same time.

The Snap Feature Makes Life Easier

Working with multiple tabs can really complicate your creative process. Luckily, Windows has this awesome split-screen feature that’s been around since Windows 7. It allows you to divide your screen and have multiple apps or windows open at the same time. With Windows 10, they’ve made it even better, so you can have up to six windows open at once!
