Whether you want to capture a hilarious meme to your social network friends, troubleshoot a baffling error message or demonstrate a mind-blowing software feature to your buddies I have planned to share some of the best ways by which you would be able to take screenshots on your windows machine easily

The Basics…

What is a screenshot?

• A screenshot is a digital image of what is displayed on your computer screen. Through the click of a button, you can capture and preserve information

Different types of screenshots

What are 3 ways to take a screenshot on a PC?

Method1: Snip & Sketch

You can open the snip & sketch tool by pressing three key combinations together – Windows+ Shift key+ S

The entire screen light will be dimmed and a small pop-up window will be visible at top center of your screen. This will allow you to choose 4 different ways to capture screenshots : rectangular, freeform, window or full-screen.

Once you take your screenshot, it will be saved to your system’s clipboard and show up as a notification in the lower-right corner of your machine.

If you open Snip & Sketch from start menu, that will open the Snip & Sketch window rather than the little board at the top of the screen. From here, you would like to tap the New button to start a screen capture.

Method 2: Print Screen key (PrtScn)

The Print Screen key or PrtScn (As tech gurus, we love our abbreviations!), this magical key allows you to capture the entire contents of your screen with ease and will be copied to the clipboard.

Alternatively, go to Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard and toggling on Use the PrtScn button to open screen snipping under Print Screen Shortcut, this will help to open the Snip and Sketch tool once you press the PrtScn Key.

Again, this will save to your clipboard.

But hold on, there’s more! Let your fingers dance across the keyboard as you become a screenshotting maestro!
