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.

Windows + Shift + S let's you take a screen snip 😎
Oh thank you for making this video so short and helpful
I find it funny that this is the most popular upload of this channel!
If you press Shift + Windows Key + S you can take an adjustable screenshot

Windows key + Print Screen should be the default to the printing screen. It is much more convenient than pasting it in the third software.
Finally not a 10 minute video on how to just take a screenshot on a computer

It is the same even i am ysinf the windiws 10 the first one does not work but the second one works but for veiwing you need to search it first where it is written 'type here to search' and thn click open file location then you can view it in the fikder named screenshot vy default..
fast, simple and staight to the point, great tutorial 10.3/10
I'm new here. Your channel is very useful.
it can't be that easy to explain under 40 seconds, helped a lot
I liked this. It was short, sweet, and to the point. Keep it up.
Try this to put screen shot to email. . Once you've pressed the Print Screen button you can press Ctrl V into the email you're composing and your desktop image should now appear in the email field.
thank you so much the last one worked 💞💞
Thank you very much, I keep forgetting how to do it,
how the f can i have the screen s? i even don't have screenshots folder
this is better than the "how to press button R" tutorial

Thank you so much very helpful

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.

didn't thought i would ever use it
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.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!
Very nice video
okay it worked and the file goes to paint but how do i change that? how can i make the screanshots go the a specificy place everytime insted of going to paint? cause not only that sucks but you can only take one screanshot at a time..
thank you so much its work really good
Thanks very nice video

Thanks for the helpful info bro.
thank you so much brother very useful
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Pressing the windows key and PRTSC key didn't work for me It worked when I pressed 'windows key' and 'FN' key at the same time and then press the 'PRTSC' key (which was actually labelled 'END' on my keyboard but it said' PRTSC underneath so it worked) I then went to file explorer and pressed the label 'Pictures' then I found 'Screenshot' and then my screenshot was there. I'm on windows 10
click windows symbol,alt key,prtscn key
THANK YOU
LEGEND WOULD HAVE CAME HERE AFTER SEARCHING HOW TO TAKE SCREENSHOT ON COMPUTER IN WINDOWS 7 AT GOOGLE
Would you take out your keys why or why not
Awesome vid!
I did it, but I can't figure out where it saved to.
Thanks for the help but i found i needed to press the windows button and the Print screen button to take a screen shot
and when you dont have a [print screen button on your HP?
If does not work, you can do windows button+PrintScreen button
Thanks 💗
thank you for this info
