Holding the Windows key and pressing the Print Screen button will save a screenshot as an image, removing the need to paste the capture into Paint to save it manually.By default, these screen captures will be saved in This PC > Pictures > Screenshots.

 

You also have the customizable screen capture-Snipping Tool. My personal favorite.

Click the Start button, start typing "snipping tool" and click on the app to open it. To capture an open window, click the drop-down menu beside New, select Window Snip and click on any window. Everything visible within the borders of that window (including other windows that overlap it) will be captured and available to edit, annotate, share or save as an image within the Snipping Tool app.

Also, you can use the Snipping Tool to select a custom portion of the screen. Click the dropdown beside New and select Free-form Snip or Rectangular Snip. Click once and hold to initiate the capture, drag until you've selected the entire area you want to capture, and release to finish.
