Windows 10: How to Take Screenshots

Pin It

Taking screenshots is now quicker and easier with Windows 10.

I can’t remember when the ‘PrtSc’ key first appeared on our keyboards but I never found it satisfactory, did you? The problem was that there was no audible beep or any popup to tell you that your screenshot had been taken.And it wasn’t really plain where that screenshot had gone.

Windows 10 makes life much easier.

You’ll still use the ‘PrtSc’ button but now you’ll use it in conjunction with the Windows button. Just press the two keys at the same time. You’ll notice then the screen darkens temporarily – that’s to let you know that your screenshot has been taken. Here’s an example of a screenshot of one of my virtual desktops.
