To split the screen on an ASUS laptop running Windows, you can utilize the built-in Snap Assist feature. This allows you to quickly arrange windows side-by-side or in quadrants.
You can effectively split your screen using Snap Assist in Windows. After arranging your windows, you can drag the dividing line to simultaneously resize both windows, providing flexibility in how you view your content.
Using Snap Assist on Your ASUS Laptop
Splitting your screen, often referred to as "snapping" windows, is a straightforward process on ASUS laptops running Windows. Here's how you can do it:
Method 1: Dragging Windows
- Open the windows you want to arrange side-by-side.
- Click and hold the title bar of one of the windows.
- Drag the window to the left or right edge of your screen.
- As you approach the edge, you'll see a translucent outline indicating where the window will snap.
- Release the mouse button. The window will automatically resize to fill exactly half of the screen.
- If you have other windows open, they will appear as thumbnails on the other side of the screen (this is part of Snap Assist). Click on the window you want to occupy the remaining space. It will then snap into place.
Method 2: Using Keyboard Shortcuts
- Open the windows you want to arrange.
- Select the window you want to move by clicking on its title bar.
- Press the Windows key (Win) and the Left Arrow key or Right Arrow key. The window will snap to the corresponding half of the screen.
- If you have other windows open, they will appear as thumbnails on the other side. Use the arrow keys to select the window you want for the other half, and press Enter.
Resizing Snapped Windows
Once you have two windows snapped side-by-side using Snap Assist, you can adjust their proportions. As mentioned in the reference, you can drag the dividing line that appears between the two windows to change their relative sizes simultaneously. Simply click on the line and drag it left or right to make one window larger and the other smaller.
This method provides an easy way to multitask, allowing you to view and interact with two applications or documents on the same screen without constantly switching windows.
