As you may have guessed from the multitasking preview, the option will split the app windows into four parts. People using Windows 11 on a big desktop such as a 27 to 32-inch monitor will find this setup most useful.
Note:Using multi-windows in three or four sections will affect visibility and clarity. We recommend using this setup on a larger display only.
5. Split Windows Horizontally in Windows 11
Users can split windows horizontally as well. This is most useful for those using Windows 11 in a vertical screen setup. That way, you won’t get much benefit by splitting the apps vertically. You need to split apps horizontally.
Open the app that you want to split at the upper half of the display. Use Windows + Up arrow key and pin it at the top. You can open the app windows on the bottom half part.
Alternatively, you can drag and drop app windows on either side until the cursor moves. Release the cursor, pin apps, and use multi-windows on Windows 11.
