There are several ways to take a screenshot on Windows 10. The most common and simple methods include:
- Press the Print Screen key (PrtScn) to capture the entire screen. You can then paste the screenshot into an image editor or document using Ctrl + V.
- Press Alt + Print Screen to capture only the active window, then paste it to save or edit.
- Press Windows key + Print Screen together to capture the entire screen and automatically save the screenshot in the "Screenshots" folder in your "Pictures" library.
- Use the Snipping Tool or Snip & Sketch by pressing Windows key + Shift + S to select a region of the screen to capture, which copies it to the clipboard and optionally allows editing before saving.
These methods give flexibility depending on whether you want to capture the full screen, an active window, or a specific area and whether you want the file saved automatically or manually saved later after editing.
