Ok, simple; I have two monitors, my main laptop one, and another one plugged into my laptop. Everything opens on my main laptop one. I want to run a game on my second monitor whilst using my first for other stuff. How can I get my game from my default monitor to my secondary monitor? I've checked the preferences to no avail.

You can't, that would require two computers. An external monitor doesn't qualify as another computer, and I don't think you can do two things at once. I don't think it's possible.

I tried but the option is greyed out, does this mean there is no way to do it at all?

You need DX10 for that I think. Or maybe not. It will require a lot of power from your cpu anyway.
