Question

If i open any folder of photos to view the contents Windows Explorer shows all of the pictures "upright".  For example if one is photographing a door then one would turn the camera to capture the image.  In Windows 7 this image would be shown in Windows Explorer with the door on its side and I would be able to recognise those images that I would need to rotate myself so they would display as shot. 

Windows 10 however assumes that i am a complete simpleton and rotates the image of the door is displays to only me, but it does not rotate the image in the file.  Thus when i upload the photograph to other software or to the web for work the picture is not rotated and i look a complete simpleton.

I want to see my photos in the orientation that i shot them, not the way that Windoze thinks i should see them is there a way within windows 10 to set so i can get that please?  It is easy enough then to rotate the photos that need it and resave them.  that way i know that when the file is displayed by older MS software that pictures will not all be on their sides.
