configure 2 screens

Hi
I need to configure 2 screens in a virtual machine that I have on a VMware ESXi 7.0 platform. I see that you can put 2 monitors in the properties of the virtual machine, within its configuration in the video controller section, but then when accessing the virtual machine, in Windows I don't see that it has 2 screens. This can be done?

Thanks and regards.

Try connecting to the Windows OS via RDP from any system that has multiple monitors, ensuring you use all the client monitors for the remote session.

How are you trying to access the Windows OS?

@scott28tt Thanks for the speed in answering

At the moment I have opened the console directly from vCenter, and when I go to the screen properties in Windows, I only see 1 screen. This machine is to later set up an industrial environment and I imagine that they will be connected to it through VNC or a similar system (this is done by another company).

Good morning @scott28tt , using all the screens of the RDP connection can help me to solve the problem.

Thanks a lot
