Adding a 3rd monitor - but want everything mainly happening on middle one - how?

Daft question and sorry for not knowing how to ask it properly in the title but ...

Im looking to add a 3rd 27" 4K monitor to my rig and at present I have one monitor right in front and one to the right hand side for Photoshop toolbars, video editing and audio stuff.

But I want to keep this kind of setup but add a third to left - without my Windows 10 taskbar heading off to the new monitor on the left and games loading there.

Since this is new to me, dual monitors for 5+ years, is it an easy thing to setup or am I about to enter a world of pain.

Many thanks folks!

You can make the middle monitor you main one, IIRC that will keep the taskbar there.

You should hopefully be able to manage it all through Windows.

However, I have used Display Fusion before, which allows you much greater control, including which apps automatically load on to which particular screen when fired up.

Oh great, I will need this when I set up my new office/desk area.
