    There is nothing special about running two monitors. If you have say the CV in the multidock simply drag the tab of it over to the other monitor. Or drag the full multidock over. It all depends on what you want. Sonar has supported multiple monitors for a very long time.

    You need at least a dual head graphics card, but there are possibilities via USB3.0 as well.
    My PC is already 7 years old, but has a ATI Radeon 5000 series graphics card which has the possibility to connect two monitors. The rest is done in Windows via right mouse button on the desktop.
    Select "Screen Resolution", there you can change the appearance of your displays.
    I chose to set "Multiple Displays: Extend these displays"
    In this dialog you will have to see at least two displays, use detect and identify. Once you see displays numbered 1 and 2 you can set their behaviour.

    Windows 10 has great support for multiple monitors.
