Simple method to take screenshots in windows 10

Whether you're using your Windows 10 PC, laptop, or tablet, there may come a time when you want to capture what's happening on the screen right now. It could be a time when you're working on a show, a funny tweet, or a social media post you'd like to save, or just a screenshot of something within the operating system that you want to save for later. There is more than one way to take a screenshot in Windows 10, so we would like to share this very simple guide.

Simple method of capturing in Windows 10

The simplest and most traditional method of capturing in Windows 10 is with a combination of keys, these keys are Alt + PrtScn, which on a Spanish keyboard would be Alt + ImprPant.

This combination causes the system to save an active screenshot to the clipboard, and then paste it with Ctrl + V in any image editor, such as Paint itself or Photoshop. If you want to do the full screen capture it is as simple as pressing “Print screen / PrtScn” on the keyboard.

You can also make that capture you have made be saved in the 'Screenshots' folder (Inside the Images folder) by pressing the Win + PrtScn keys.

With the Snipping Tool

A little-known tool within Windows 10 is Snipping. With this tool we will be able to take custom captures of a specific section of the screen, of a window, of the entire screen or in free form.

Once the custom capture is done with Clippings, you can draw on it to highlight something that seems important to you. From the same tool you can save that capture in different image formats.

These are the simplest methods to capture in Windows 10. I hope it has been useful for you and I'll see you next time.
