Now you need to hover your cursor over the Task View icon on your taskbar. From here you will see a preview of all the current virtual desktops you have in use. To open a new virtual desktop simply click on the “+” sign in the New Desktop tile. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Windows + CTRL + D to open a new desktop. 

That’s it. You now have a whole other desktop interface to open files and applications. You can rename, close, and move the desktop priority by right-clicking on the desktop tile as you hover over an individual desktop tile.
