1. Power off VM. Go to Settings->Display, change number of monitors to 2. Add video memory if there is a warning.
2. Run the VM. Open View->Virtual screen 2 menu and select "Enabled". The second VM window appears.
3. As per your VM OS go to Settings / Control Panel and modify Display so the OS can use both monitors, just like with the normal Windows or Linux computer. For Ubuntu it is Settings->Display, for Windows you can right-click on desktop background and select "Screen Resolution..." menu.
