You can choose any orientation as per your requirement that changes your screen orientation. We have listed out the two methods by which you can rotate your screen in this article.

There are few of the keyboard shortcuts to change the display orientation directly from the keyboard.
We have listed all the keyboard shortcuts below :

- Press CTRL + ALT + DOWN ARROW key together to set screen on landscape (flipped) mode.
- Press CTRL + ALT + LEFT ARROW key together to set screen on Portrait mode.

NOTE:- The above keyboard shortcuts will work on most of the computers. But If they are not working on your system, then probably you need to enable the shortcut keys in the Intel Graphics Command Center application. You can download and install it on your system from Microsoft Store for free if this application is missing on your laptop.
- Press Win key on your keyboard and type intel graphics command center.
- Hit Enter key.
- After the application opens, Click System > HotKeys.
- Then, Click on Enable System HotKeys toggle button to turn it ON.
- Close the application.
This method is most easiest one to rotate the screen of your computer.
