First thing you wanna do is open the display properties under the settings tab click identify, you should see #'s 1 and 2 flash on the respective monitors.

Once you see that all you need to do is select display #2 and check the "extend my windows desktop onto this monitor" box

Click apply and ok and you're done

Goodluck
