Moving your Steam games to another monitor is like doing a slick magic trick with your PC setup! First, make sure both monitors are properly connected and recognized by your computer. Then, you can dive into the display settings. Right-click on your desktop, go to 'Display settings,' and check which monitor is set as your primary. If you want to switch the primary monitor where your games appear, just select the other monitor and choose 'Make this my main display.' Another way is to launch the game, switch it to windowed mode (usually Alt+Enter does the trick), drag the window to your desired monitor, and switch back to fullscreen. Presto change-o, your game's on the move!

Honestly, just drag the game window to the other monitor. Works like a charm if the game's in windowed mode.

I gotta say, some games just don't play nice with dual monitors. They always wanna start on the primary monitor no matter what tricks you pull. In those cases, switching your primary monitor in the display settings before launching the game might be your best bet.
