How to take a screenshot on a PC or laptop with Windows

We could spend all day arguing the merits of a good screen-capture utility. They are quick and efficient, often providing a simple way to take a JPG snapshot of an application window or your entire display in a matter of seconds without the need to download any external software. Perhaps you need to send a screenshot to tech support, email an image to a friend, or, if you’re like us, capture a screenshot for an awesome how-to guide about how to take a screenshot on a PC. Luckily, Windows has several built-in features for taking and saving screenshots for whatever reason you might need them, and they’re only a couple of keyboard clicks away. All three methods covered in this guide are free, no hassle, and work fantastically on nearly all machines built in the last decade and beyond. Let’s take a look.

    You press the (PrtScn) button Go to the windows icon and click, look for 'accessories' from the menu and click, look for 'Paint' in the menu and click, look for the clipboard icon and click (you're pasting from the clipboard at this point), You should now see your screenshot - save this under a filename. That should be it. I hope this was useful.

    Doing this with my Windows 10 doesn't do anything. Digital Trends doesn't say how to "select" the screen. I just go to the page I want to get a screen shot, then press the Print Screen and nothing happens. I also try pressing Alt and the Print Screen key and nothing. Where is the "clipboard". Maybe redo this for people who don't know a lot about computers.
