How do I enable multiple virtual desktops on Windows 7 and allows to configure the same shortcuts for cycling between desktops as the standard Windows 10 shortcuts (Ctrl + WIN + Left/Right Arrow)?

  • When you say multiple desktop, do you mean similar to how Android on mobile works (where it has multiple screens and you're calling each screen a different desktop)? – Dave Feb 15 '16 at 08:27
  • I mean multiple virtual desktops (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_desktop) - not sure how that works on Android. – Daniel Feb 15 '16 at 08:32
  • The link you shows that for Windows, there is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtuaWin (not sure if meets your needs but your question is off topic here, sorry :( ) – Dave Feb 15 '16 at 08:42
  • Thanks, VirtuaWin did the trick! But why is this question off-topic? There are tons of question asking for shortcuts for Virtual Desktops (e.g. http://superuser.com/questions/948616/windows-10-change-shortcut-keys-to-switch-between-desktops?rq=1). – Daniel Feb 15 '16 at 08:50
  • Asking about Virtual Desktops are fine but software recommendations are not (hence why I assume you got a downvote). Your first line is `is there a program that enables multiple virtual...` – Dave Feb 15 '16 at 08:51
  • I have edited your quesiton, it should be on topic now. – Dave Feb 15 '16 at 08:53

I don't think you can do this on Windows 7 alone.

You can use VirtuaWin for your needs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtuaWin
