How to Take Screenshot using PrtScn Button in Windows 10

One of the best and simple ways to take screenshots of whatever is on your computer screen is to simply press the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard. It's usually labeled on the key as "PrtScn" and you can find it in the top row, nearest to the Function keys.

On some of the keyboards (mainly on laptops), you might need to trigger the Print Screen along with the Function key at the bottom left corner of the keyboard (what I mean is holding the Function key and then press PrtScn).

On pressing the PrtScn key copies the entire screen of your computer to the clipboard, and you can paste it elsewhere like Paint or other software, but there are several modifier keys you can use the same key for other functions too.

Several PrtScn variations for taking Screenshot:

• Press PrtScn - This copies the whole screen to the clipboard. You can paste the screenshot into any program that displays images, like Paint or Microsoft Word.
• Press Alt + PrtScn - This copies the active window to the clipboard, which you can paste into another program.
• Press the Windows key + Shift + S - The screen will dim and the mouse pointer will change. You can drag to select a portion of the screen to capture. The screenshot will be copied to the clipboard, which you can paste into another program. (This shortcut only works if you have the latest version of Windows 10 installed, called the Windows 10 Creators Update.)
• Press the Windows key + PrtScn - This saves the whole computer screen as an image file. You can find the screenshots in the "Pictures" folder, in a subfolder called "Screenshots."
