I use extend mode to open up 2 monitor, how I run games full screen on either first / second screen while keep one of them for other windows?

The game would launch at the screen that has been set to "Use this as the primary monitor."

you would need to run your game in full screen windowed mode in order to use the other screen(s) for daily taskes. google that.

P/S: not all games support windowed mode though.

Automatic.

Just that if you are running on fullscreen, you'll need to alt-tab to use the second monitor.

Windowed lets you hover mouse easily there, unless you're playing a game where your mouse is locked inside the screen aka Shooters and such.
