    Another way to change Screen Display rotation:

    To change your screen orientation:

    Right-click on the desktop and select "Personalize."

    At the bottom on the left side of the screen and click "Display."

    Click on "Change Display Settings" and choose "Orientation" from the drop-down menu.

    Choose from:

    "Landscape" (standard view)

    "Portrait" (changes the view to sideways to the left)

    "Landscape (Flipped)" (turns the screen upside down)

    "Portrait (Flipped)" (turns the screen on the side to the right)

    Click "Apply" and then click "OK."

    Your screen orientation is set to whatever version you like.

    Hope this helps.

    That was so easy I am almost embarrassed.  Thanks

    I had no idea what I'd done -- I was trying to type in an alt-key code for a special character and I must have hit an arrow key. Thank you so much for your help!!!
