With Windows 10, perhaps one of the Picture viewers that you have already is Windows Photo Viewer* ? (it was available as a free Microsoft program in earlier versions of Windows - probably easily found to download but I haven't tried)
I use WPV* for photos taken with my phone (sometimes they are upside-down; often at 90 degrees) and I use this free application to rotate 90 or more degrees L or R as appropriate. When moving on to the next pic, it automatically rewrites the image to disk - but the useful EXIF data - for example, the GPS info, etc - is retained. I also use Irfanview (have done so for 15+ years) but it does have some features that are confusing for newer users. I would recommend WPV* instead.

Then you can truly rotate and save the picture in the right orientation. In FastStone see Settings - Settings - Viewer and uncheck Auto-Rotate by EXIF orientation tag. Legacy doesn't use the EXIF metadata to orientate the pictures, your phone and many programs do. Note you can edit images linked to Legacy in other programs - to rotate them, remove flaws or crop them, resize them, ... provided you don't change their filename. They'll still be linked. Just make sure that if it's your only copy, you copy it somewhere else for an archive copy first.
