Hello! Your setup involves a macOS VM on a Windows 10 PC with dual monitors. The system details you provided are helpful. To ensure both monitors work together for macOS 10.13, you’ll need to enable the second monitor in the virtual machine settings. The 'Enable' option is currently grayed out, so check the VM configuration or contact support for further guidance. No separate instances are running; only one VM is active at a time. Let me know if you need more steps!

Yes, MacOS detects both monitors and displays them as a single screen.

It understands the need for reflection but won’t display two screens at once.

I did a quick search and saw this post on the Level1 Tech forums: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/multiple...x/115445/3 and it seems that there is a driver issue (if that's even a thing with mac, never used one tbh). They mention a "VirtualBox tools" package needs to be installed on the VM (MacOS in your case). EDIT: Really wish they embedded it into the software tbh! Hope This Helps, Chris

Sorry to hear that. You've already responded to the post and aren't getting any advice there. You're planning to start a fresh installation of macOS from a USB drive instead of using a virtual machine.
