Taking a screenshot helps people take an image of the whole screen, which will enable them to crop and edit the image to their liking. The first thing you need to do is look for the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard. Every single computer will have a different location for this key, but typically the key is located inside the upper right area of one's keyboard.

Below are several images that give an idea of where the key is situated for various keyboards, which includes laptops:



Subsequent factor you wish to do, is choose whatever webpage or screen which you want to take a snapshot of. Then press the "Print Screen" key. What this will do is copy the screen in the exact same way you'd copy any words from an article.

*You'll now need to PASTE the image onto an image/art application like Paint or something pretty comparable to it.

An Extra Tip When Taking a Screenshot

Finding the Paint application:

Pretty much every Windows computer already has the Paint program in it. If you are not sure exactly where to locate Paint, then:

1)Click onto the Windows/Start button within the lower left.

2)Click "All programs", and then you'll click "Accessories" (it should be listed there by default)

3)Then click "Paint"

Note: You'll be able to also pin the Paint application towards the Start Menu for quicker access by right clicking onto the Paint icon.

Taking a screenshot is easy once you've tried it several occasions.

As soon as the Paint program opens, then click onto the "Paste" icon, and the screen that you simply copied is going to be pasted and ready to be edited. Hopefully taking a screenshot will likely be a breeze for you now. :-)
