Changing the size of the windows:To change the size of a window in Blender, all you need to do is hover your mouse over one of the lines that separate the different windows. When you see the cursor change shape, it means that you're able to change the window size. Then, you can just left-click the edge of the window and drag it to your desired size and shape.

In Blender, it can be convenient to have multiple windows on the screen at a time to see your scene from multiple perspectives at once. Similar to the way you changed the size of the windows, you want to drag your mouse over the edge of the window. This time however, you're going to right click. A tiny window will pop up giving you three options. You want to click on "Split Area" in order to split the window into two. You'll then see a line telling you the position of the split screen. You can then move it to wherever you like, and left-click in that area to confirm the split screen. Screens can be split both horizontally and vertically. Note: The window that will be split is the one with the focus; it should have a lighter-colored header than the others on the screen.

If you have a screen that has been split into multiple windows, but you would like to see fewer windows, you can actually remove any of the windows from the screen , much in the same way that you added them in the first place. Simply hover the mouse over the edge of a window and right click. The same little window will pop up, but this time you want to select "Join Areas". Just like when you split the screen, the window that has the focus and the lighter colored border before you join the windows, id the one that is going to be displayed in the newly-joined window.
