multiple-monitorsvirtual-desktopwindows 10
I use the Spaces feature in OS X quite heavily so when I heard Windows 10 would support a similar feature I was excited to try.
Upon attempting to build my virtual desktop workflow similar to that of what I had on OS X I noticed I cannot drag desktops around to reorder them, and I also cannot drag desktops between monitors.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this possible?
I use virtual desktops with multiple (2) monitors.
The program I use for Virtual Desktops is "VirtuaWin".
I organize my virtual desktops the following way: Desktop 1: Internet Desktop 2: Office (writing, powerpoint etc) Desktop 3: Programming/Development Desktop 4: Media (audio software etc). Desktop 5: Processing (when I have a batch script/programm running for a long time).
IMO: The idea of having two monitors is to have more "context" available while working. The idea of having several virtual desktops is being able to order programs according to a set of tasks.
The feature has now been released as one of several "Virtual Desktop Improvements" in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update (Build 14316):
You can now pin a window so it’s available on every desktop. To do this, launch Task View then right-click on the window you want to pin and choose “Show this window on all desktops”. Try pinning Skype or Groove Music so they’re always at your fingertips. And if you have a multi-mon setup, you might enjoy the ability to have your email app on the second monitor no matter which desktop you switch to.

Seems a single virtual desktop spans all your monitors, as opposed to being associated with a single monitor.
This means a window has association with the pair (Desktop, Monitor) as opposed to just desktop.
As for reordering desktops, I can find no information
