How do I move the task bar from horizontal position to vertical position? Company just installed windows 11 and I can't seem to figure out how to move it.

I use multiple monitors and it was a major efficiency gain for me to pin my taskbar vertically in the middle of my 2 screens. It meant that it was always in the center of my vision which helped when switching between everything and limited the amount I have to move my mouse. Please, please, please allow us to customize the location of the bar. I wish I could roll back to Windows 10 for that functionality alone!
I have used another app called.. Windhawk.
It was very easy to use. Win 11 is running just fine with it installed. (version 23H2)
Here is a link to the Windhawk program. https://windhawk.net/
You can even remove the app afterwards.. just be sure to tell it to "save the app settings" if you do remove it and save the vertical taskbar setting.
Here is a video on how to set it all up.

Windhawk also has a lot of other options for Win 10 and Win 11.
It seems to be more of a collection of available apps rather than an app in itself that does all of the changes it has available.

I used Windhawk to move the Taskbar to be be vertical on the left of the screen and it is working great!
Download the Winhawk app to select and make the changes.
Using this next option allows you to see all of the available Mods that Windhawk has to offer before downloading it.
You can also just select the desired modification you want to use right from the Windhawk webpage and it will have you download the Windhawk app and then you can make the changes.
Windhawk has over 100 different "Mods" available for a variety of Windows and other "fixes".
Check them out at their website by selecting the "Mods" box at the upper right of the home page.
With the app installed you can revert back to normal at any time or select another option they call "mods".
To revert back to normal if you have removed the app... just go to the website and download the app again and run it and you are set.

I am writing to express my frustration with the taskbar customization options in Windows 11. I am extremely disappointed with the removal of a crucial feature.
In previous versions of Windows, it was possible to position the taskbar vertically on the left or right side of the screen. This flexibility was essential for users like myself who manage multiple windows and prefer a vertical taskbar for better screen real estate management. The fact that this option is missing in Windows 11 is incredibly frustrating and has significantly disrupted my workflow.
