How To Add Virtual Desktops In Windows 10

In this quick tech how-to video, I’m going to show you how to add and use virtual desktops inside of Windows 10.

Virtual, or multiple desktops or spaces, is a pretty useful feature that has been built into the Mac operating system for a while, and is nice that the feature is now available inside of Windows. This feature makes working between multiple projects a lot easier, by having different desktops set up for different purposes.

To add a new desktop, select Task View on the taskbar.

At the top of the screen, you’ll see New Desktop. I’m using the latest release of Windows, but one of the previous releases had the New Desktop button located in the lower right. Either way, it will be on this page.

Select New Desktop, and you’ll then see Desktop 2 appear. Choose that desktop to be taken to that space.

I’ll show you really quick how this looks when setup. I’ll open Chrome on this desktop for example, and then select Task View at the bottom again. Now at the top, I’ll select Desktop 1. In here I’ll go ahead and open a file explorer window.

Now by selecting Task View I can quickly switch between the 2 desktops I have going.

An even easier and quicker way of switching between your desktops is by using the keyboard shortcuts, Windows Key plus Control, and hitting the left or right arrows to scroll back and forth.

And that’s how you add and use virtual or multiple desktops inside of Windows 10.
