Using dual monitors. Can't move Adobe CS6 frame to right monitor.

Is there a way, when using dual monitors, to move the whole CS6 frame to either monitor? Right now it's just cemented to my left monitor, and I want it on the right.

Correct answer tom-grant

Well, after some frustration and poking around I finally figured it out fellas.

In the Illustrator Menu Bar, click "Window" and then "Application Frame". It seems that option unchecked will leave the application "fixed" to your primary monitor. Checking it will place the application in a "free-form" window that you're free to move around.

Thank goodness!

for me, unchecking Application Frame is what allowed free form movement. I'm in AI 2021, so perhaps it's been modified in newer versions?
