Today's technology offers us hundreds of options for a comprehensive, safe and above all dynamic work and it is not for less since many of us like to handle different applications, programs and files when we access our PC. But at the same time we like to keep the work order and therefore Windows 10 gives us the opportunity to manage in a much more orderly and centralized way each open element thanks to the virtual desktops..
Basically the function of a virtual desktop is something typical of Linux distributions but it has already been integrated into Windows 10 and with the use of virtual desktops we are able to create various “virtual desktops†on our computer. This does not imply having more user accounts created and active . Seen from this point of view, in the main desktop you can have the office applications open, in the virtual desktop 1 you can open audio or video programs , in the virtual desktop two you will have open design programs and so consecutively in each desk it will be possible to open different programs without the one interfering with the other.
An ideal point, to bring a more adequate order, is to be able to assign a name to each of the virtual desktops which allows us to know with certainty what elements are on each desk. But this was not possible until Microsoft has decided to integrate from Windows 10 build 18963 the option so that each of its users can rename virtual desktops and thus handle a much clearer order in them..
Note
Version 18963 of Windows 10 is only available at the moment for Insider users and if you wish you can register for free at the following link:
