Tech Tip - How To Streamline Your Workflow with Virtual Desktops

- Press Win + Tab to open Task View.

- Click on “New desktop,” which appears at the top of the screen, to create a new virtual desktop.

- You can switch between desktops using Win + Ctrl + Left Arrow or Win + Ctrl + Right Arrow.

- Drag and drop windows from your main desktop to any virtual desktop to organise your tasks better.

- Right-click on windows in Task View to move them or open new apps directly on any desktop.
