Use two apps at the same time

Keep an eye on your music playlist while you work on a report. Compare your favorite team's schedule with your own calendar. You can get more done when you snap a second app to the left or right side of your screen.

Snap the last app you were using

With touch, slide your finger in from the left edge to bring in the second app, and then drag that app to the left or right side of the screen until an opening appears behind it.

With a mouse, move your pointer into the upper-left corner until the second app appears, and then drag that app to the left or right side of the screen until an opening appears behind it.

Snap an app you used recently

With touch or with a mouse, open a list of recently used apps. Drag the app you want to the left or right side of the screen until an opening appears behind it.

Tips

• Press the Windows logo key + Period to snap the current app to the edge of the screen. Then swipe in from the left edge of the screen to bring in another open app.
• To adjust the size of the apps, move the line between the apps. One app can take a third of the screen and the other can take two thirds.
