Touch screen question

(Apologies if there is a better forum for this)
I've just replaced my VERY old Iiyama touchscreens with two nice new Viewsonic TD2230.
Touching monitor 1 works fine. Touching monitor 2 appears/activates on monitor 1.
My old monitors had some driver software but it doesn't recognise the new screens. Do a need a driver from somewhere or should W11 manage this by itself? If so, how?!
Many thanks for any assistance.
Steve

If both monitors appear in Settings / Displays / Multiple displays, you might not need a new driver.
Are the USB cables from both monitors plugged into the computer? Does Device Manager show two touchscreen devices? (You can check for a driver update there.)
Does Control Panel / Tablet PC Settings / Calibrate ... let you calibrate both touchscreens?
Here's one of many articles you can get ideas from, but I'd look for the owner's manual for your monitors first.

Thank you!
All it needed was setting up in the Tablet PC settings.
I'd searched in 'Settings' for 'Touch' and found nothing. Good old MS hiding it away!

Just out of interest, turned it all on today and Windows had decided to switch both monitors back to landscape mode and lost all the touch settings!
It's not even connected to the internet so I can't blame an update!
Had to reset screens & touch from scratch....
