Microsoft Windows 10 is the successor to Windows 8.1 and comes in two versions: Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Home.
There are many things both Windows 10 and Windows 10 Pro can do but just a few features that are supported only by Pro.
Taking a screenshot is a useful tool that lets you instantly capture what is on your screen.
Let Express.co.uk show you how to take a screen shot on Windows 10.
How to take Quick Screenshots with Print Screen:
The print screen button may be labeled as PrtScn, PrntScrn, Print Scr, or something similar.
On most keyboards, the button is usually found between F12 and Scroll Lock.
On laptop keyboards, you may have to press the Function or Fn key to access the Print Screen feature.
When you press the key, it will look like nothing happened but the screenshot has actually been saved to your clipboard.
To Save Your Screenshot as a File:
Press the Windows logo key + PrtScn.
If you’re using a tablet, press the Windows logo button and Volume Down button.
On some laptops and other devices, you may need to press the Windows logo key, Ctrl and PrtScn or Windows logo key, Fn and PrtScn keys instead.
Check your laptop’s manual for more information.
The screen will dim for a moment and you will see the screenshot appear as a file in a folder entitled Screenshots, inside your default Pictures folder.
The screenshot is automatically labeled with a number.
You will only see your screen dim if you have the Animate windows when Minimising and Maximising turned on in your visual effects settings.
To Take a Screenshot Without Saving:
Press the PrtScn key.
A screenshot of your display is now copied to the clipboard.
Open your favourite image editor, word processor, or other program you want to use the image in.
Choose Edit and Paste to paste the screenshot wherever you like.
The dimensions of the image will be the same as your desktop resolution.
Remember, some laptops and other devices, you may need to press the Alt + Fn + PrtScn keys instead.
