CF19 MK1 upgraded to Win 10

Hi All

Since my last post, I have found a new non oem touch screen for $50 shipped to the UK for my CF19 MK1. Fitted it over the xmas holidays, with help from YouTube videos, along with 2GB ram and all is working as it should. I then updated the bios in win XP as per the many threads and installed win 7 pro. Again all bar the auto rotation is not working. I have now just completed the free win 10 upgrade and as of yet all seem to be ok (bar the auto rotation) Not really an issue as the it can be change fine with the front button.
Thanks for the help with installing the drivers in the correct order, with out this I don't think I could have done the upgrade myself.

 

bravo!

 

Hi,
re. "auto rotate"...

I have a Mk.1 and a Mk.5 and neither of them actually auto rotate - if that means that just tilting the unit flips the screen.

Rotate works fine with the front button on both machines and I've always assumed that's all they do - nothing auto as far as I know.

There have been quite a few posts before on this I think?

I'll laugh 'til my nuts go back up if I've been doing it wrong all this time though

 

I had auto rotate work on one unit I had. I never checked or worried about the others.
If you have the CF19 open with the keyboard facing you, the screen is right side up.
Then you rotate the lid and close it to a tablet position.
With auto rotate working the screen will flip 180 and be right side up again with the lower taskbar facing you.
Without auto rotate the screen will be upside down.

 

I wasn't clear in my last post, sorry.

To me, auto rotate would be like my phone - portrait or landscape mode responds instantly whenever I tilt the phone to suit the screen content.

Being able to pre-select one orientation for laptop and another for tablet mode is OK but ... semi-auto maybe?

 

When I get home tonight I will check my 19MK5 and see what it does but I am running W7 64bit...sorry but no W10 trash on my Toughbooks.

 

Well I just tried mine and to rotate mine I must use the front buttons.

 

Hi Blair,
my MK5 is on 7/64 and the disprot works as I think it's meant to:
right-click on the disprot symbol in taskbar, select "setting." I chose primary landscape in laptop mode and secondary portrait in tablet mode.
Release screen & swivel it, fold it down flat and the display then blanks before switching to portrait mode.
Maybe slightly quicker than using the front button.

Tried W10 on the MK1 because it's just a spare. Booted marginally faster but everything else slower and less intuitive.
Straight back to W7.
WtF were they thinking?
Even Vista was better than 10.
