Clicking on the Print Screen button will take a screenshot of your entire screen and will save the image to your computertorage. After clicking this button, you can copy your screenshot into an application, such as Paint. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1649412639081\">\n<div class=\"steps\">\n<h3 class=\"step-name\">Step  2.<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Click on the Windows and F11 button at the same time <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p><img class=\"lazy lazy-hidden\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/a3-lazy-load\/assets\/images\/lazy_placeholder.gif\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/04\/IMG-4131.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Another method of taking a screenshot is to click the Windows and F11 buttons at the same time. This option is more accessible, as not every keyboard has a Print Screen button. This method will also take a full image of your entire screen, but it will save it to your Screenshots folder instead, meaning you won\u2019t need to copy and paste it into another application.  <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1649412721328\">\n<div class=\"steps\">\n<h3 class=\"step-name\">Step  3.<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Go into Paint and press Ctrl and V at the same time to paste your screenshot<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p><img class=\"lazy lazy-hidden\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/a3-lazy-load\/assets\/images\/lazy_placeholder.gif\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/04\/Screenshot-of-Paint.png\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">If you used the first option (using the PrintScreen button) then you can paste your screenshot into a document, file or application. Paint is very easy to use and can be opened via the Windows search bar. Once in paint, click the Ctrl and V buttons at the same time, then edit the picture as you see fit and save it under your preferred file name. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1649412873582\">\n<div class=\"steps\">\n<h3 class=\"step-name\">Step  4.<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Go into your Screenshots folder to find your pictures <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p><img class=\"lazy lazy-hidden\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/a3-lazy-load\/assets\/images\/lazy_placeholder.gif\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/04\/Screenshots-folder-in-Pictures.png\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">If you used the second method (clicking the Windows and F11 buttons at the same time) then your screenshot will be automatically saved onto your PC. You can find your pictures in the Screenshots folder, which is in the Pictures folder. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-keystone-faqs\">\n<h2 class=\"faqs-title wp-block-heading\" id=\"faqs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block faqs-content\">\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1649412134650\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I take a screenshot of a specific part of my screen? <\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, you can take a snippet of a section of your screen using the Snipping Tool.
