Looking for software alternative

I used to use a feature of spaces on OSX that allowed me to launch specific software into specific virtual monitor (spaces I think they were called). I found https://github.com/eksime/VDesk this mostly does what I would like, except that it is a bit buggy and is not so user friendly when it comes to configuration.

I want something that has the same functionality as VDesk, in that I could launch software into specific monitor sections on specific virtual monitors. Is there such software available?

It's built into Windows. Press Windows+Tab.

Thanks for reading all this by the way!

By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.

Missed the purpose of what I was asking as what I am asking is not built into windows. I'm looking for it to happen automatically. Not for me to do it manually. I know I could do it manually. The problem is that if I launch a program in desktop A, but wanted it to be in desktop B, I have to manually move it to desktop B and say I wanted it in desktop B and monitor 3, I have to take extra steps to move it. It's a lot of hassle.
