Fortunately for you, that's not a problem :) Assuming you have a Mac laptop:

 1. Plug in a second monitor (any will do) so your laptop sees multiple
    monitors.
 2. Fire up a virtual machine of your choosing. I used VMWare
    Workstation, which is equivalent to VMWare Fusion on Mac. I believe
    VirtualBox (which is free) will work just as well.
 3. Download and install the Windows 10 ISO which you can download for
    free from https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10
 4. You can run Windows 10 without a license for a short period of time
    (30 days I believe) so this isn't a problem.
 5. Configure the VM with 2 virtual monitors and you should be able to
    reproduce the problem.
 6. I just tried it in VMWare Workstation and it worked for me.

I haven't been able to get this working (yet) using a single physical 
monitor. See 
https://superuser.com/questions/1325393/how-to-use-multiple-virtual-monitors-if-host-has-a-single-monitor

But it's possible that VirtualBox is better in this regard than VMWare 
Workstation.
