Right click on desktop, choose properties, click on last tab called settings, click on advanced, then on nvidia logo with the name of your model, then on 7th list on it called "appearance screen" (don't know in english). It's something like a monitor with typical windows desktop and on edges are arrows to rotate the screen and under it are options to rotate it (0°, 90°, 180° and 270°). Hope it helps.

@Elrond well done, just in case anyone is curious the feature exists mostly for Tablet Laptops. Screen open and keboard accessable landscape as we're all used to, flip the screen around and close the lid and it can be rotated 90° and have a virual keyboard in portrait mode (like P900)
