Is a Dual Display Set-Up possible in Lightroom?

Question

When I first installed Lightroom, I had (2) 15" VGA (Dell 15" LCD &Acer 15" LCD)  monitors pluged into the built in graphics controler & I was able to use 1 for the filmstrip, controls, etc... and the other for the image I was working on. When I upgraded to a single Acer 24 LCD wide screen HD monitor with a Raedeon HD 5450 2GB graphics card, I disconnected both of the other VGA/LCD monitors. After doing some work in Lightroom, I missed having the abilty to have the image on a seperate screen. So, I installed one of the old monitors. However, now Lightroom will only let me work on 1 screen.
When I look at the "System Info" window, it says I only have (1) display.
Can anyone tell me how to get Lightroon to detect my 2nd monitor?
Running Windows 10 Pro, Intel Core i7-4790 CPU, 16GB RAM

Dual-monitor support is available in Lightroom from version 8.2 and later.
