When you connect a monitor to the laptop using the HDMI port, Windows gives you an option to either duplicate the laptop screen or make the monitor a 2nd screen (extend). When you select extend, then you can have one program on one screen and another on the laptop screen. Here is more information on setting up for another display: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4340331/windows-10-set-up-dual-monitors. Once set up, you would just simply click and drag your window to the monitor. You would just need a monitor with an HDMI port.

I use an HDMI cable and this works good. You do have to set the screen setting to "multiple displays".
{start}- {system}- {display} will get you there.
