Part 1 of 3 – Snap with the mouse

Snapping windows in Windows 10 is now quicker and easier than before. In this three part series I’ll explain how.

• Snap with the mouse – Part 1
• Snap with the keyboard – Part 2
• Snap Assist – Part 3

Prior versions of windows allowed us to snap windows so they take up the full half of a screen but with Windows 10, Microsoft has improved the snap feature to include more options. You can now snap windows so they take up  just a quarter of the screen as well.

To snap a window, click its title bar and drag it to any edge of your screen. An outline will appear to show you where the window will snap to once you drop it.

 

• Drag it to the left or right side of your screen to snap it to the left or right half of the screen.
• Drag it to any corner to snap it to the corresponding quadrant.
• Drag it to the top of your screen to maximize window to full-size.
