📎 AI Summary:
The discussion revolves around enhancing window docking options in Windows 10. The original poster seeks a side dock feature similar to RocketDock, which they enjoy, and later shares that they successfully positioned RocketDock on the left and Nexus Dock at the top, both set to hide and appear on hover. Other contributors mention the absence of native side docks in Windows 10 and discuss multi-desktop features, with the overall sentiment being a positive experience with third-party dock applications for better quick access.

Is there a Side Dock for Windows 10, that will give you a Dock on either left or right side (instead of the top or bottom) … ? I found RocketDock, which I really like, sorta like the old Mac Dock, but I would like to add a Side Dock also …..

I discovered that I can set RocketDock to the left. I also found Nexus Dock, which I have set to the top. Very cool and useful apps ! Helps to access stuff easily and quickly ….. RocketDock is on the left ... Nexus Dock is at the top ... SideSlide is the small window, which is actually a separate Desktop on the main Desktop. I have RocketDock and Nexus Dock set to hide, and when I hover my mouse at the left or top, the Docks appear. I still have Windows 10 Task Bar at the bottom.

there is not such thing as Windows 10... they have different builds which change the way docking works;

try pressing [windows key] + [.] + [left or right arrow] that moves the main window on most builds
multi-desktops i.e, one for gaming and the other to run word are what Microsoft are testing and its a major pain to use so i don't recommend it
the short cut to make them is [windows key] + [tab]
