Using a Microsoft surface pro 7 how do I flip ONLY the 2nd external monitor, as its mounted to the ceiling, but do not want the main display to flip. Both needs to be mirrored just one upside down. Right now if one flips it flips the other, which doesn't help, we need to flip only one of the monitors and they are somehow linked (1|2) INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL (1) (2).

    Hi Chris_1X!

    Thanks for reaching Microsoft Community. We're here to help and let's work on this together.

    With your query, to flip only the 2nd external monitor without affecting the main display on your Microsoft Surface Pro 7, you can follow these steps:

    1. Right-click on the desktop and select "Display settings."
    2. Scroll down to the "Multiple displays" section and click on "Extend desktop."
    3. Click on the 2nd external monitor and scroll down to the "Orientation" section.
    4. Select "Portrait (flipped)" or "Landscape (flipped)" depending on how you want to flip the display.
    5. Click "Apply" and then "Keep changes" to save the settings.

    This should flip only the 2nd external monitor without affecting the main display. If you want both displays to be mirrored, you can select "Duplicate these displays" instead of "Extend desktop" in step 2.

    Please let us know with how it goes. We look forward to hearing from you.

    Regards,

    RodelioP.

    Completely agree Microsoft support is a waste of anyone's time, No point in even contacting them, Never answered the question and when they fake responded it was with what was in the original question, Absolutely infuriating. NEVER BUYING MICROSOFT EVER AGAIN, and I buy over $1.8M of tablets for work a year, they choose wrong guy to miff!!. They've been put on our blacklist, no one is allowed to purchase from them now.

    This does not work, flips both screens need just the "second" or "external Display" to flip. NOT BOTH. But Require they be Identical in what they display "duplicate" if you will.
