Using 2 monitors on Windows 10 for macOS Host

Post by rf9661 »

Hello!

I have a macOS Virtual Machine running on my Windows 10 PC. It was set to use both of my monitors. I've attached a photo of where it says that both of my monitors are counted. Please let me know what I need to do to be able to use macOS 10.13 on both my monitors.

NOTE: I don't want 2 separate instances of macOS running but rather 2 monitors for the same virtual machine.'

Here are the core specs of the system if that helps:
CPU: i7 6700K
MOBO: Asus Z170-A
RAM: 16GB of DDR4 at 2400MHz
GPU: GTX 970 (this is the GPU that both monitors are plugged into)

Let me know if you need any more information,
Richard

NOTE: I've just discovered that the 2nd monitor isn't enabled. The 'Enable' button is greyed out. I've attached a 2nd screenshot.

First of all, you posted on the "OSX Hosts" section. You do not have an OSX Host, you have a Windows Host, and unfortunately OSX guests are only supported on Apple hardware (which you do not have). See: Important notice regarding Mac OS X as Guest.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
