Window-Snapping, which was introduced in Windows 7, is a very convenient feature allowing you to “snap” a windows to one side of your screen by dragging it to one of the edges of the monitor. In Windows 10, this feature has been improved with more options. For instance, you can now snap windows so they take up a full half or just a quarter of the screen. Furthermore, you have the ability to select windows to add to your screen.
Snapping a Window to take up Half of
the Screen
The
following explains how to use Windows Snapping to take up half of your screen:
1. In the window that you wish to snap,
click anywhere on the window title bar.
2. Drag your window to the left
or right edge of your screen.
3. When your mouse cursor reaches the
edge of the screen, an overlay will appear, indicating where the window will be
placed.
4. The Snap Assist screen with
available windows will appear, allowing you to select a window to place in the
open portion of your screen. Click on a window to add it to the open
portion of your screen.

feature allows you to select open windows to add to an unoccupied area of your screen
