Literally the first page in google searched by keywords "how to move a game to the second monitor" gives a you shіt ton of answers. Try it, mindblowing.

You're too lazy to use Google, how is that his fault?

1. I still want to use the first monitor
2. I don't want to make the big monitor my main monitor - it messes up desktop icons

So no answer from the first page of google suggested by local trolls helped.

What worked was:

1. Change window mode to windowed in game settings
2. Press WinKey+Shift+Left (or right) to move it on another monitor
3. It stays on that monitor even if you change back to maximized

Anyway, thanks @AMadWomanWithABox, the only person who tried to help.

Statistics show that those with a tiny penis will be more likely to argue for the sake of arguing than those with big ♥♥♥♥♥. Have a nice day.

The pfp is as stupid as this answer.

Borderlands (gearbox) games tend to force their windows back to the primary monitor, so therefore it doesnt work.
