How to Take Screenshots in Windows 10
Included in article:
Screenshots with Print Screen
PrtScn saves entire view to clipboard > Open Word (for example) > Paste from clipboard **
Alt + PrtScn saves current window to clipboard **
Windows key + PrtScn saves to C:\Users\AccountName\Pictures\Screenshots\filename.png
Windows + Print Screen
- Windows key + PrtScn saves to C:\Users\AccountName\Pictures\Screenshots\filename.png
If that does not work, try
- Windows key + PrtScn + FN key saves to C:\Users\AccountName\Pictures\Screenshots\filename.png
and
Oddly (to me, at least, since I don't use Windows Print Screen anyway)
Windows key + PrtScn + FN + Alt saves current focus (window) to C:\Users\AccountName\Videos\Captures\filename+date-time.png
====================================================
What else?
Snip content from the screen
Avoid Screenshots altogether – Capture what you want from the screen.
Create a Snip of the information on the page > save the snipped image as a .jpg file > print that file.
Snip – available since Vista! Check out the “delay” feature in Windows 10
