1. Press the Windows + Print Screen keys simultaneously.

2. The screen will briefly dim to indicate that a screenshot has been taken and saved to your computer.

3. Open the Pictures folder on your computer, and then open the Screenshots folder.

You will find the screenshot saved in this folder.


Method 3: Using the Snipping Tool

If you want more control over your screenshots, you can use the Snipping Tool. This tool allows you to capture a specific portion of the screen. Here's how to use it:

1. Open the Snipping Tool application. You can find it by searching for it in the Windows search bar.

2. Click on the New button to start a new snip.

3. Click and drag your cursor to select the portion of the screen that you want to capture.

4. Once you have made your selection, release the mouse button.
