How to split the screen in Microsoft Windows

When working on your computer, it’s helpful to view more than one document at once. In Microsoft Windows, you can do this on a single monitor by splitting the screen.

To split the screen, follow the simple steps below:

1. Press and hold the Windows key.
2. Press the left or right arrow key. If you press the left arrow key, the active program window shows on the left side of the split screen. If you press the right arrow key, it shows on the right side of the split screen.
