It's more difficult than people say in my experience with Windows 7. Here is a Dell Knowledge Base article that describes the same thing. after a driver update or some times even after a cable disconnection). However occasionally windows will loose the setting and you will have to redo the process.

Change the primary display any one you prefer to act as such.

Go through the normal "enter" to skip, "touch" to indicate which screen is your touch screen.

Select "Setup" to configure your pen and touch displays.

Open Tablet PC Settings (CPL -> Tablet PC Settings).

Set the touch monitor as the primary monitor.

Open Screen Resolution Settings (CPL -> Display -> Resolution).

Here is what does the trick for me in Windows 8.1: No matter if you indicate which monitor is the touch one, via the "enter" (to pass) and "touch" (to select) trick, the touches are sent to the primary monitor. Touches are sent to other monitors and via Tablet PC settings there is no way to fix it. I had a similar problem in windows 8.1: three monitors attached, one of those is touch, but not detected first. You could still have the touch off to the side and make it primary with the monitor you work from set as secondary but right in front of you.Īnd yes all the gestures and mouse flicks work regardless of the pointing device some just lend themselves better to a mouse or the finger. We did have a customer try dual touch screens but he had major driver issues and eventually ended up disabling the feature on his secondary monitor. The only way I've seen this done effectively is to use the touchscreen as primary. If you run multiple monitors with touch screen or run one with and one without neither screen can calibrate properly for both screen areas and the touch mouse is locked to the primary monitors logical location. The only reason it lines up with your finger is that it's calibrated to do so. however the touch screen is simply a mouse built into the monitor. The reason you're not seeing anyone talking about the touchscreen function is that it has nothing to do with the screen and everything to do with primary vs secondary. Sorry it took so long to spot this question.
