How To Rotate The Screen In Windows 10

How to rotate the screen in Windows 10

The built-in tool that is in Windows 10 for changing your display rotation is attached to the rest of the operating system’s internal display settings. 

To get to the right place, open up the ‘Settings’ application on your PC, choose ‘System’, and then click on the ‘Display’ option from the sidebar.

1. Identify the correct display

The first thing that you need to do is to identify the display that you want to rotate. If you have several monitors attached to your PC, each of them would be assigned to a number.  

To make sure tha you get the right one, click on the ‘Identify’ button and you will see a number flash up on each screen telling you which one it is. 

To rotate the right one, make sure that you select the corresponding number in the box showing all the different screens that is on your PC. 

2. Rotate the screen

Still in the display settings menu, scroll down until you see the ‘Scale and Layout’ section. In here there would be a dropdown box which is labeled ‘Display orientation’. 

Clicking on this would present you with four different options. You can either be on landscape or on portrait, or you can be both but flipped if you need to do that. 

Once you make your choice, you will be asked to confirm you wish to keep the changes before it becomes permanent. If you do not like it, after all, hit ‘Revert’ and your screen would go back to the way it was.

3. Organise your screens in Windows 10

The final touch is to make sure that your screen layout in Windows 10 matches your screen layout in real life. If you have a display that is on the left, you do not want Windows thinking that it is on the right. 

Going back up to the top of the Display settings to the box that has the numbered icons showing your displays, you can move these into your desired layout.

Simply click and drag the intended display into the position you want and click on ‘Apply’.
