Windows 10’s Snap Feature…Snap to it!
With Windows 10’s Snap feature you can snap up to four windows on the same screen/desktop. You can work in each window while the others stay in view. You might say…why would I want to do this? Well, think about it for minute. We think you’ll find Windows Snap handy for a lot of things.
When you snap a window to one side of the desktop, on the other side you’ll see the open Windows you could snap to the that side of your desktop. Above you can see we have a Windows File Explorer window snapped to the right side of our desktop. Look on the left, and you’ll see 3 thumbnails. We can snap any one of these windows to the left side of the screen and next to the snapped window on the right.
If you have ever needed to drag a folder or a file from one drive/directory to another, it makes it a lot easier if you have two file explorer windows open side by side in front of you. You can drag files & folders from one directory/drive to another with ease when you can see what you’re doing.
See? Look up! As an example (above) we show you how we can copy/move a video from the “Pictures” folder (on the right) to any other folder on this computer – or any other drive on this computer by simply dragging it from the File Explorer windows on the right to the File Explorer window on left – or from the window on the left to the window on the right. It’s a “snap” to copy/move files if you know how to snap windows. Snap to it, EB! When I snap my fingers I expect you to get busy or bring me a beer!
So how do you do this Windows magic? It’s easy, but it does take some practice.
Your can snap any window, up/down/right/left by dragging the window until it snaps (the harder way), or you can use the Windows Key + the Arrow Keys (the easy-peasy way!)
Try it. You might need to play around with it before you get the hang of it, but once you learn it, you’ll use it a lot – especially for moving or copying files from one folder to another or working in two windows, when you need to keep both windows on the screen. And if you want to work in three or four windows? No problem. You can snap up to four windows on your screen with Windows 10’s snap feature.
And don’t confuse Windows’ Snap feature with another useful feature: Virtual desktop. Snap is different than virtual desktops. You can learn more about virtual desktops here.
