I Have brought 2 monitors one is Hdmi and one is DP to VGA (it was a free monitor for notes and stuff) I need to have the Hdmi as my main monitor but it keeps showing up as 2 and even if it is in the right order my programs keep showing up on monitor 1. How do I set my secondary monitor as my main and still be able to use my other one.

I think you need to right click on your desktop, to go to screen resolution (or something like that) and then select the monitor you want to be your main and click on the option "Make this my main display". From there all program / applications / games you open will be at the main monitor that you selected it to be.

I want to extend the display so I can't change the default screen check box it's grayed out
