How to Take a Screen Shot Or Capture Computer Screen
Take a screenshot on Windows Look for the Print Screen key on your keyboard, which might be labeled PrtScn or some similar variation. To capture the entire screen (everything you see on the screen, including all open windows), press the PrtScn button. This screenshot will be placed in your clipboard. Alternatively, to capture just the active or foremost window, press Alt + PrtScn . (Some machines may require you to tap Fn at the same time.) If you want to select a portion of your screen to grab, hit Windows+Shift+S . In Windows 10, this will open the Snipping Tool, which we’ll explain below. Next, open a word processing or image editing program like Microsoft Paint and either go to Edit > Paste or hit Ctrl + V to paste the image into the program. Go to File > Save As and save the image to a folder so you can use it later.
