How to Take Screenshot in Windows.
There are couple of ways to capture a screen in Windows.
So,the easiest of them is what we will be going through here.
- The first is by using the default screen-capture key on every computer(i.e The PrtScn) on your keyboard.
- Locate it & let's start.
- To take the shot of everything currently displaying on the screen including all open windows,press PrtScn.
- This will be automatically placed in the Clipboard.
- To capture just the active window,press Alt+PrtScn.
- Now to save the shots,open Microsoft paint by navigating to Start » Programs » Accessories » Paint and paste it there.
- Next select File from the top menu and choose “Save as”
- Give it any name you want and choose a directory to save the image.
- The second method involves using the “SPINNING TOOL”.This tool is by default part of winidws8/7 & Windows vista.
- It is capable of capturing a specified area of a page instead of the whole screen as with the previous method.
- You can choose to use an amoeba-like[irregular] shape,a rectangle or capture the whole screen.

- Select a snipping type by clicking on the arrow next to “New” button.
