Windows – Move window to new desktop in Windows 10

virtual-desktopwindows-10-preview

In the current Windows 10 tech preview, you can finally add new "virtual" desktops and quickly jump between them.

But is it possible to move an open window (for example a browser) from one desktop to another and if so, how?

Best Answer

Open Task View, either by clicking on the icon in your task bar or by pressing Win + Tab, then right click on the application/window you would like to move to another virtual desktop and make your selection from the Move to context menu.

Note that you will only see the applications open on the current desktop in task view, so either open Task View from the virtual desktop it is running on, or you can change the "focus" to a different virtual desktop by mousing over it's picture (but not clicking it) at the bottom of the screen.
