Dual Monitor question

[Mangrove Jack]

I am considering getting a 2nd monitor to show DCS on. Current research seems to be showing what I want to do as being problematic for me.

Currently on Windows 11 and have a 2K monitor.

If I go with a 2nd monitor it will need to be on my left and I would like it to be the non-primary.

I also want to leave the primary, working as it does now with the taskbar and all that stuff so that I can use Discord and office docs for references whilst on DCS on the non-primary monitor.

 

Does anyone know if this is possible to achieve?

I used to run a 2 monitor setup on a 3 monitor machine, using only the middle monitor (Main Windows monitor, but used in DCS as monitor 2), and the far right monitor (@nd Windows Monitor, and primary DCS monitor). So ya, if that matches what you're asking, yes it does.  Pic for even more clarity/confusion

Thanks for info.

For your example - I would be wanting monitor 3 as primary windows screen and monitor 2 (as 2nd monitor) for the DCS screen. Just forgetting monitor 1 was there as it's a 2monitor setup.
