I have a computer that can be turned into a tablet. After a lot of searching I have found that the rotation lock option being greyed out is actually a "feature" of the laptop mode of all windows computers that can do this.

Is it okay to install an old Nvidia graphics driver? My Mum's laptop has been having an issue with the latest few graphic driver updates, so I went onto the manufacturer support page for the laptop in question and downloaded the OEM driver there.
