How to take a screenshot on a PC or laptop with Windows

We could spend all day arguing the merits of a good screen-capture utility. They are quick and efficient, often providing a simple way to take a JPG snapshot of an application window or your entire display in a matter of seconds without the need to download any external software. Perhaps you need to send a screenshot to tech support, email an image to a friend, or, if you’re like us, capture a screenshot for an awesome how-to guide about how to take a screenshot on a PC. Luckily, Windows has several built-in features for taking and saving screenshots for whatever reason you might need them, and they’re only a couple of keyboard clicks away. All three methods covered in this guide are free, no hassle, and work fantastically on nearly all machines built in the last decade and beyond. Let’s take a look.

Windows key + Print Screen should be the default to the printing screen. It is much more convenient than pasting it in the third software.

Try this to put screen shot to email.

Once you've pressed the Print Screen button you can press Ctrl V into the email you're composing and your desktop image should now appear in the email field.

Screen shooting was essential for me as a technical writer for portal developers if you go to the doc and hit paste it goes right to the doc.
