HOW TO TAKE SCREENSHOT ON WINDOWS 10/8.1/8.

One of our community member asked how to take screenshot, so I will try to teach how to take screen shot.
First make it clear what screenshot is, it is the image displaying on the screen of your laptop/pc's and you want to share it with others or safe it for yourself you take the image of the screen displaying in front of you.
There are various methods to take screenshots, with our without third party application, according to your need.

METHOD-1:

This method is used when you want the whole screen as it is. This is a very simple method and it usually works on all pcs, simply press the "windows logo" key and "PrtScr" button together and the whole screen will be captured and a folder will be automatically generated in Pictures naming "Screenshots" and your screen shot will be saved. This button of "PrtScr" is usually located on the top right of the keyboard, after F12. But it can be on different position. Some times on some laptops you have to click "Windows logo key + PrtScr + ctrl" or "Windows logo key + PrtScr + Fn" depending on the setting of your laptop

MEHTOD-2:

If you don't want whole screen screenshot but just a part of it. simply press "f9"/go to search bar and type "snipping tool". it is a windows build in app. when you will click on it you will find there is an option new, click on this option and then drag the part of the screen you want to take screenshot of. then this dragged part will be displayed in an icon simply save it.

METHOD-3:

This method is to describe how can you add your name and arrow heads on your screenshot. simply press the "PrtScr" key. Then open an picture editing app e-g a build in app i-e paint. Open Paint and simply paste it over there by pressing key "Ctrl + v" or paste it manually by right click. Your image will be pasted then u can crop it and add your name or anything etc.

FURTHER:

Moreover you can use third party applications e-g MS office (one note). But build in apps are prefered
