How to Take a Screenshot on Windows 10 and 11

Answer:

Taking a screenshot on Windows 10 and 11 is a simple process and can be done using different methods. Here are a few methods to take a screenshot on both Windows 10 and 11:

Method 1: Using the Print Screen (PrtScn) Key

  1. Make sure the window or screen you want to capture is active and visible.
  2. Locate the Print Screen (PrtScn) key on your keyboard. It is usually found in the top-right section of the keyboard.
  3. Press the Print Screen key once to capture the entire screen.
  4. Open an image editing software like MS Paint or Word, and press Ctrl + V to paste the screenshot. You can then save the image.

Method 2: Using the Windows Key + Print Screen (Win + PrtScn) Shortcut

  1. Press the Windows key and the Print Screen key simultaneously. The screen will dim momentarily, indicating that the screenshot has been taken.
  2. The screenshot is automatically saved in the “Pictures” folder in a subfolder called “Screenshots”. You can access the screenshot by navigating to the Pictures > Screenshots folder.

Method 3: Using the Snipping Tool

  1. Open the Snipping Tool by searching for it in the Windows search bar.
  2. Once the Snipping Tool is open, click on “New” to start a new screenshot.
  3. Depending on your preference, you can choose to capture a rectangular, freeform, or full-screen screenshot.
  4. After capturing the screenshot, you can annotate or save it using the tools provided in the Snipping Tool interface.

Method 4: Using the Snip & Sketch Tool (Windows 10) or Snip & Share Tool (Windows 11)

  1. Press the Windows key and the Shift key + S at the same time to open the Snip & Sketch tool on Windows 10 or the Snip & Share tool on Windows 11. This will open a snipping toolbar.
  2. Use the snipping toolbar to choose the type of snip you want to take, such as rectangular, freeform, or full-screen.
  3. After capturing the snip, it will be automatically copied to your clipboard. You can then paste it into an image editing software or save it directly.

These are some of the common methods to take screenshots on both Windows 10 and 11. Choose the method that works best for you based on your preferences and needs.
