How to rotate laptop screen/rotate picture on computer screen
A few months ago my furry friend walked across my keyboard – and magically the picture on my screen was upside down! The screen can rotate 180 degrees or rotate 90 degrees. There are two ways that I know for rotating the picture on a laptop screen. You can use the mouse (difficult when your screen is upside down!) or you can use keyboard shortcuts.

Keyboard Shortcuts
On your keyboard you will find four arrow keys together in a group. (up, down, left and right pointing arrows). You can use these to rotate the screen display. Hold down the “ctrl” AND the “alt” keys and then press one of the arrow keys. The down arrow will turn the screen display upside down. The right/left arrows will rotate it through 90 degrees and the up arrow will return the screen display to normal.
