my screen is sideways how do i turn it back

Sideways Screen:

Try pressing Ctrl + Alt + UP Arrow Key, or try Ctrl + Alt + and a different Arrow Key.

If that does not work: Right-click on empty Desktop > Graphics Options > Rotation.

Cheers.

    Good answer. Worked for me. I was going to go to Geek squad. They would probably have charged me $125 to press those keys..
