Hi,
As the title says, I want to know if there's a way my Windows 8.1 guest can use my 2 external monitors, but left my mac screen for my other apps?
Going to VM Config > Options > Full Screen > Use all displays in full screen doesn't help as it will also use my mac internal screen.

Thanks in advance!
 
Hello ngocphamm,

It is not possible to use 2 external displays for Virtual Machine and simultaneously use the Mac (primary) display for Mac OS.
You can use one display for Virtual Machine and rest of the displays for Mac OS.
Please Go to Virtual Machine Configure (http://kb.parallels.com/117287) > Options > Full Screen > Disable 'Use all displays in full screen' which will help you in using 1 display for Virtual Machine and the rest of the displays for Mac OS.
 
Yeah that's what I'm using now. Just thought it would be super useful to be able to use more displays for just the Windows. So it's not possible right now.
Thank you for your response!
Best,
Ngoc

Yes, it would be convenient to use in that way as well. We will pass it on to the concern team as a feature request.
