For those who embrace multiple screens, especially professional 'coders,' using a vertical display enhances their workspace. In this article, Mytour shares insights with readers about screen rotation shortcuts on Windows 7, 8, 10. Join the exploration.
1. On Windows 7
To rotate the screen on Windows 7, simply use the shortcut combination Ctrl + Alt + the four arrow keys. The functions of each key group are as follows:
- CTRL + ALT + Arrow key ↑ : Landscape (default mode)
- CTRL + ALT + Arrow key
- CTRL + ALT + Arrow key ←: Portrait (vertical orientation)
- CTRL + ALT + Arrow key → : Portrait (flipped) (vertical orientation reversed)
2. On Windows 8, 10
Screen rotation shortcuts on Windows 8, 10 are exclusive to specific tablet devices and do not apply to Desktops or Laptops. To activate the screen rotation feature, right-click on the screen and select Graphics Options => Rotation.
Rotate To Normal: Default rotation mode
Rotate To 90 Degrees: Vertical rotation mode
Rotate To 180 Degrees: Inverted screen rotation mode
Rotate To 270 Degrees: 270-degree clockwise screen rotation mode.
Moreover, this feature depends on the integrated graphics card in your computer: Intel, AMD, Nvidia. Each brand has its own method of screen rotation. However, screen rotation shortcuts apply only to Intel and two AMD brands; Nvidia requires manual configuration.
