To take a screenshot on a ThinkPad, there are several common methods:

  • Press the "PrtSc" (Print Screen) key to capture the entire screen. This copies the screenshot to the clipboard, which you can paste into an image editor (like Paint) and save.
  • Press "Alt + PrtSc" to capture only the active window.
  • On some ThinkPads, you may need to press "Fn + PrtSc" to capture a screenshot.
  • To save the screenshot directly to a file, press "Windows key + PrtSc"; this saves the screenshot in the "Screenshots" folder under your Pictures.
  • You can also use the built-in Windows tool Snip & Sketch by pressing "Windows key + Shift + S" to select a region for capturing.

These methods work on Windows-equipped ThinkPad laptops and provide flexibility in capturing either full-screen, window, or custom region screenshots.
