You need to have a video card that takes 2 monitors. in a dual monitor setup. You need to be sure that you can spread the desktop over the two (As opposed to mirroring the desktop.
  Then it's all quite simple. Buy another monitor. The desktop is over the 2 monitors so you can drag and drop across from one to the other.
