How do I change my monitors identity number (1) to another number (2) without re-ordering?

I recently upgraded my computer and replaced it's motherboard, RAM, CPU, case and re-installed Windows on a new NVMe drive, however my graphics card & monitors stayed the same.

The graphics card is a Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB by Palit.

  • My left screen is connected via HDMI
  • My right screen is connected via HDMI to DisplayPort (Active Adaptor)
  • My middle screen is connected via DVI

I used to boot up my computer and it would always boot showing the middle screen as the primary display... so as it was booting or if I loaded BIOS it would appear on my middle screen and I would have to set the primary display to be the middle screen in either Nvidia Control Panel or within Settings > System > Display.

However currently it's booting on my right screen... it does switch to the middle screen as the primary when the computer reaches Windows.

That said, Nvidia Shadowplay for some reason keeps recording my right screen (the incorrect primary screen) even if I have a game open... I want to make it record my middle screen but it refuses to do so.

How can I change the primary screen (before windows boots) to the middle screen? I can't change cables over because they just don't reach.

I'm not sure if I purchased another HDMI to DisplayPort cable if that would suffice or if the GPU would prevent it from loading because of a GPU limitation. I would prefer not having to purchase anything extra though.
