    Hello,
    I haven't bought parallels yet, but I've seen that it is possible to have 2 monitors one running Windows and the other Mac OSx. My question, which I haven't found and that really interests me is, can I, running parallels use both monitors on Windows? I would like to be able to extend the displays on Windows, since I use Windows to run Office where I like to use one screen with the spreadsheet open and the other with VBA Editor, ergo my question.


    Thank you for your attention!
    Luis

    You can organize the monitor use however you want: Windows on either monitor or on both.

    Hi,
    I'm hijacking this thread to ask a question about dual monitors. I like to launch my virtual machine straight into full screen when I use Parallels, however it will always launch on monitor number 1 (primary monitor). Is there any way to have parallels launch on monitor 2 (non primary)?

    As it stands, I have to launch the virtual machine, wait for it to boot, shut it down, wait for the 'Click to start' window to display, move the window onto the correct monitor, then start the virtual machine. It's a bit of a pain just to get it to launch on the correct monitor in full screen.

    Thanks

    You need to have at least two desktops created on Monitor 2 and then assign Parallels
    to desktop on monitor 2.
