How to Take a Screenshot on Windows?
Two keys and a drag. Here is every way to capture your Windows screen — and where the picture ends up.
How Do I Take a Screenshot?
hold down Win and Shift and press S = Use your mouse to draw a rectangle in order to specify what to capture. Windows then copies it to the clipboard.
I Guess It is in the Clipboard Now. How Can I Paste It into a Document or Something?
hold down Ctrl and press V = Windows pastes the screenshot (that is in the clipboard) into a document, image, or email you are currently editing.
Where Should I Paste It? I Just Need a (Graphics) File.
- Start “Paint”
- Paste
- Save
How Do I Save the Whole Screen Directly as a File?
hold down Win and press PrtScn = Windows captures the entire screen and saves it as a file in the folder Pictures › Screenshots.
On older versions of Windows, press Print Screen (PrtScn) instead. It copies the entire screen to the clipboard.
