For the purpose of this article we will be looking at how to screenshot on windows 10. This little trick is very useful when you wish to capture what is displayed on your computer screen. You can then paste it anywhere you like.
For example you can paste it in Microsoft word. You can past it in the Paint App on your computer. You can even paste it in Excel. Just about anywhere you want to use the picture information.
This is a very quick and easy method and one you would wish you had learnt a long time ago. Of course there are other ways to capture what is on your computer screen. For example many people are accustomed to using the “Print Screen” method.
I was also a fan of this method but since learning and using the new screenshot method on windows 10 I have long abandoned the print screen method.

Just to ensure that nothing is missed that was mention. I will discuss shortly just how to go about print screening.

So here is how you go about copying what is displayed on your computer screen. This can be done in one of two ways depending on the keyboard that you are using.
Method 1 – simply look for the “prt sc” or “Insert/ Print Screen” on your keyboard and press it. This will capture anything that is currently displayed on your computer screen.
First press the Fn key and then the prt sc key and this will let you capture whatever is showing on your computer screen.
