Taskbar appears on the second screen?
You're looking to move the taskbar to a different screen while keeping your main 27-inch display for gaming. Since you're using Windows 7, there are a few options you can explore: check if third-party tools or custom settings exist for screen switching, or consider using a virtual desktop manager to rearrange your workspace. Also, ensure the second display supports the programs you need without disrupting your gameplay.
Alternatively, you can check out the source at http://sourceforge.net/projects/dualmonitortb/ or explore display fusion at http://www.displayfusion.com/
Windows 8 issues: Metro UI not functioning properly. Current best operating system available.
I suggest trying Display Fusion, it's available on Steam. It was recently discounted a few weeks ago, though I'm not sure if it's still on sale. You might be able to use the free version and upgrade later if you're interested in the paid version. I believe it typically goes on sale during Steam events (just don't rely on that).
