You can either click somewhere inside the window or use Alt+Tab to focus it. Windows will save an image of the current window to your clipboard, so be sure to select the window you want to capture first. To copy an image of your screen to your clipboard, just press the Print Screen key (or Fn+Print Screen on some laptops). To control whether or not your screen flashes, toggle this option. Note: Your screen will only flash while taking a screenshot if you have the “ Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing” setting enabled. In other words, you will likely find your screenshot at the following location: C:\Users\NAME\Pictures\Screenshots The screenshot will appear as a PNG file in a folder named “Screenshots” inside your user account’s “Pictures” folder. If you take multiple screenshots, each will be automatically labeled with a number. The screen will dim for a moment, providing visual confirmation. If you see a Windows logo button on your tablet’s display, press Windows+Volume Down instead. (On a laptop keyboard, you may have to use Windows+Fn+PrtScn.) Tip: If you’re using a Windows 10 tablet or 2-in-1 convertible PC without a keyboard, press Power+Volume Down to take a screenshot. In other words, press and hold the Windows logo key and tap the Print Screen key, which may be labeled something like PrtScrn or PrtScn. Press Windows+Print Screen to save a screenshot as a file.
