To take screenshots on a Windows computer, you can use several methods:
Using the PrtScn (Print Screen) key:
Press the “PrtScn” key on your keyboard. This captures the entire screen and copies it to the clipboard.
To capture only the active window, press “Alt” + “PrtScn”.
Using the Snipping Tool:
Type “Snipping Tool” in the Windows search bar and open the application.
Click on “New” and select the area you want to capture. You can choose from Free-form, Rectangular, Window, or Full-screen snip. After capturing the screenshot, you can annotate, save, or share it directly from the Snipping Tool.
Using Snip & Sketch (Windows 10 and later):Press “Windows key + Shift + S” to open Snip & Sketch. Select the type of snip you want (Rectangular, Freeform, Window, or Fullscreen). After capturing the screenshot, it will be copied to the clipboard, and you can annotate or save it from the notification that appears.U
