Above you can see that I have three desktops\u2026 or workspaces. The one I\u2019m working in is on the far left. I\u2019ve created two virtual desktops. So, counting my desktop, I now have three independent workspaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong><span class=\"auto-style737\"><span class=\"auto-style736\"><span class=\"auto-style751\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"auto-style805\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2016\/v-desktops1a.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight InfoAve\" width=\"733\" height=\"254\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Above: Notice I can have different programs open on each desktop, most of which are independent. For example \u2013 I could be working on a notepad file on Desktop #1, an MS Word doc on Desktop #2, and creating a graphic on Desktop #3.\u00a0 Each virtual desktop is its own workspace \u2013 independent of the other. And I can switch between them simply by clicking this icon in the Taskbar.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"auto-style805\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2016\/v-desktops2.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight InfoAve\" width=\"219\" height=\"54\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Above: Windows 10<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Here are some virtual desktops in Windows 11.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2022\/vdesktops-win11x.png\" alt=\"Windows 11 Virtual Desktops -Cloudeight Infoave\" width=\"600\" height=\"131\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infaove\/images\/2022\/win11-tv.png\" alt=\"Taskview icon - Windows 11 - Cloudeight InfoAve\" width=\"348\" height=\"72\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Above: Windows 11<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Whether you are using Windows 10 or Windows 11, you can switch between virtual desktops using these keyboard shortcuts:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>Windows key + Ctrl + Left Arrow and Windows key + Ctrl + Right Arrow.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">You can have an unlimited number of virtual desktops. Well not really \u2013 the number of virtual desktops is limited by the amount of RAM installed and your free hard drive space. Come to think of it, why would you need one hundred virtual desktops?
