Print Screen (often abbreviated as "PrtScn" or "Print Sc") is a key on most keyboards that allows you to capture a screenshot of the entire screen or the active window on a Windows computer. There are several ways to use the Print Screen key to take a screenshot on a Windows computer:
To take a screenshot of the entire screen, press the Print Screen key (often abbreviated as "PrtScn" or "Print Sc"). The screenshot will be copied to the clipboard and can be pasted into an image editing program such as Paint or Photoshop.
To take a screenshot of the active window only, press the "Alt" and "Print Screen" keys together. This will capture an image of the active window, which can then be pasted into an image editing program.
To take a screenshot of a specific area, press the "Windows" key + "Shift" + "S" this will open the Snipping tool, you can select the area you want to capture and save it or share it.
Some laptops and keyboards might have a different key combination to take a screenshot, like "Fn" + "PrtScn" or "Windows" + "PrtScn"
With Windows 10, you can also use the Game Bar to take screenshots and record gameplay. Press the Windows key + G to open the Game Bar, then press the camera icon to take a screenshot, or the red record button to start recording.
It's important to note that the specific key combination may vary depending on the keyboard and the version of Windows you are using, so it's best to check your computer's documentation for more information.
