Jul 3, 2018 at 15:22 comment added Derek Holt For odd $q$, ${\rm PGL}_2(q)$ has Schur multiplier of order $2$, and there are two isomorphism classes of covering groups. It is difficult to come up with more concrete descriptions. The situation is similar for the symmetric groups $S_n$.

Jul 3, 2018 at 12:20 comment added Derek Holt For odd $q$ there are two isomorphism classes of groups $G$ that contain ${\rm SL}_2(q)$ as a subgroup of index $2$, and for which $G/Z(G) \cong {\rm PGL}_2(q)$.

Jul 3, 2018 at 12:13 comment added sara My main goal is to find the structure of such $G$
Jul 3, 2018 at 12:03 comment added YCor This changes nothing, your assumptions force equality of the cardinals. Derek means that the inclusion $Z(G)\le SL_2(q)$ fails for $GL_2(q)$. Anyway, this post is not research level and should be posted in a more appropriate forum.

Jul 3, 2018 at 11:55 comment added sara Yes.. I should say that a subgroup of $GL_2(q)$. I am editting it Thank you
Jul 3, 2018 at 11:45 comment added Derek Holt ${\rm GL}_2(q)$ does not satisfy the condition $Z(G) \le {\rm SL}_2(q)$ when $q>3$.
