If you have an external monitor connected to a laptop, what display setting allows you to move the system tray to the secondary monitor?

The choice to make a display the main display is crucial when dealing with a setup involving an external monitor connected to a laptop. By selecting this setting, you designate the external monitor as the primary screen, which includes moving important elements like the system tray to that monitor.

When a display is set as the main display, it becomes the focal point for user interaction, meaning that taskbars, start menus, and system trays will appear there. This feature is especially useful when users prefer to utilize a larger external monitor for their primary tasks while maintaining the laptop screen for secondary activities.

In contrast, the options related to extending or duplicating displays do not inherently change the main display setting or relocate the system tray. Extending displays allows for a broader workspace across multiple screens but does not prioritize one over the other, and the system tray remains on the primary display. Duplicating displays mirrors the laptop screen on the external monitor, meaning the system tray will still be on the laptop unless the main display is switched. Similarly, the "second screen only" option limits output to the external monitor but doesn't specifically facilitate transferring the system tray unless it's set as the main display first. Thus, selecting the correct setting for the primary display is essential for achieving the desired configuration
