To change the arrangement of your displays in Windows, follow these steps:
-
Right-click anywhere on your desktop and select "Display settings" from the context menu. This will open the Display Settings window.
-
In the Display Settings window, you will see a visual representation of your displays. Each display is labeled with a number to indicate its identifier.
-
To rearrange the displays, click and drag the display icons within the visual representation. Move them to the desired positions that match your physical setup. For example, if you want to swap the positions of two displays, click and drag one display icon to the desired location.
-
As you drag the display icons, you will notice that they can be moved horizontally or vertically to align with your desired arrangement.
-
While dragging the display icons, you may also see a blue outline or numbered boxes. These indicate the relative position of the displays in the arrangement. You can use these as reference points to align the displays precisely.
-
Once you have adjusted the display arrangement, click the "Apply" button at the bottom of the Display Settings window to save the changes. Windows will apply the new display configuration.
-
After applying the changes, you can also adjust additional display settings, such as resolution and scaling, by clicking on the respective display and scrolling down to find the "Scale and layout" section.
To test the new display arrangement, you can move windows or applications across the displays to ensure they are positioned correctly.

-
In the Displays preferences pane, you will see a visual representation of your displays. Each display is represented by a blue rectangle.
-
To rearrange the displays, click and drag the display rectangles within the visual representation. Move them to the desired positions that match your physical setup. For example, if you want to swap the positions of two displays, click and drag one display rectangle to the desired location.
-
As you drag the display rectangles, you will notice that they can be moved horizontally or vertically to align with your desired arrangement.
-
While dragging the display rectangles, you may also see a white outline or numbered boxes. These indicate the relative position of the displays in the arrangement. You can use these as reference points to align the displays precisely.
-
Once you have adjusted the display arrangement, macOS will automatically apply the changes. You can close the Displays preferences pane.

To test the new display arrangement, you can move windows or applications across the displays to ensure they are positioned correctly.
