Using Snap
Snap in Windows 8 enables you to use your device for more than one action or application at a time. In Internet Explorer 10, the default full-size window automatically adapts to the more narrow “snap” size to align with the second application. The Internet Explorer 10 window also automatically undocks from its snapped location when necessary for user interaction. All of the core browsing capabilities are available when a browser window is snapped.

Move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen until it changes from an arrow to a hand.
