No guys this is all done on windows 10 laptops...not phone.
I download the vertical image using Save Image As
go to File Explorer (and see the thumbnail as vertical)
right mouse click whilst the image is selected and rotate the image counterclock wise, and see the the thumbnail horizontal like it should.
open it up in Paint or Photo viewer and it is horizontal as expected..
upload THAT image to the forum and bam back to vertical
in my next response I am going to do the steps again on my work laptop (I'll be saving the first vertical image and suffix the file name with _vertical)
