Right click desktop -> properties -> settings tab -> click on the monitor that widows has selected as secondary and untick the box "extend my desktop to this monitor" click ok.
This should hopefully leave you with only picture on the external monitor (which windows sees as the primary)..
Then use the key combination that selects internal/external screen on your laptop keyboard (usually Fn+F7) untill you only have picture on the screen that you want to be your primary screen.. The other screen should now be blank, otherwise press the keys again untill it gets so..
Then go back to Right click desktop -> properties -> settings tab, and you should now be able to select the monitor that is currently blank and tick the box "extend my desktop to this monitor" and click OK..
Then it should work..
I know this turned out to be quite a long explanation, but it is actually really simple.. i guess the point is that with only one screen enabled, the keyboard shortcut selects which screen is the primary.. makes sense ?
Hope it helps..
