With Snap Layouts, you can view and work on multiple apps simultaneously.

You can choose from various layouts depending on your screen size and orientation.

For instance, if you’re working on a project that requires research and writing, you can have your web browser and word processor app open side by side. 

You can easily switch between apps without having to minimize or maximize windows.

Windows 10 also has a similar feature known as Snap Assist.

Here’s how you can use Snap Assist in Windows 10:

• Drag to Snap: Left-click the title bar on a window and drag it to the corners or left or right edges. You’ll see a transparent overlay indicate how the window will snap.
• Keyboard Shortcuts: Use Windows Key + Left arrow or Windows Key + Right arrow to snap an app to the left or right halves of your screen. For the smaller quadrants, use Windows Key + Right / Left, and then Windows Key + Up / Down.
• Unfortunately, Windows 10 doesn’t support vertical snapping. 
• You can’t use Snap Assist to put one window on the top half and another on the bottom half. You have to do it manually.

That's it.
