<h3>5. Snap windows with ease</h3>
<p>If you're working with multiple windows at the same time, you can save time by using the snap feature in Windows.</p>
<p>To do this, simply click on the title bar of a window and drag it to the left or right edge of the screen. The window will automatically snap to that side, taking up half the screen. You can then snap another window to the other half of the screen, allowing you to easily work with two applications side-by-side.</p>
