Virtual Desktops can be renamed, but rearranging them makes it easy to switch between them quickly. To change order, move or rearrange Virtual Desktops in Windows 11/10, follow these steps:

If you need more keyboard shortcuts and a better way to manage virtual desktops, then you can use SylphyHornEx software available on GitHub. Once installed, you can use the following keyboard shortcuts to manage the desktop.

Switching between Virtual Desktops is easy but still needs to be as easy as the ALT + Tab shortcut. On top of it, few may also want to switch between apps on the different desktops when in the Task View. I hope more features show up in future updates of Windows. This feature is being rolled out to the stable version. I hope the post was easy to follow, and you were able to clearly understand how to move or rearrange the virtual desktops in Windows 10.
