Step 1:Open all the apps or windows you need.

Step 2:If the Mazimmize icon has the outline of two squares, click on it to ensure the window is not covering the entire screen.

Step 3:Place the cursor on any edge of the window. When you see a bi-directional arrow, drag the edge to your desired size or position. Then, repeat along all corners of this initial window.

Step 4:Repeat step three for the second window; click and hold the title bar, then drag them to vertical positions.
