Taking a Full-Screen Screenshot on Windows 8 and 10

1. Go to the screen that you want to screenshot.
Before you can take a screenshot, make sure that the screen which you want to screenshot is up with no distractions. e.g, open windows or program.

2. Find the “Print Screen” key on your keyboard.
The Print Screen key is most often found in the upper-right side of the main keyboard (not counting the number pad if your keyboard has one), and it usually has “SysReq” written below it. The Print Screen key will usually be abbreviated to “PrtSc” or something similar.

3. Press the Win key and the Print Screen key at the same time.
Doing so will take a screenshot of the current screen; in most cases, you’ll see the screen dim briefly. Your screen won’t dim if your computer has certain display settings disabled. This is most common on old computers on which you upgraded to Windows 10.And if your screenshot doesn’t appear when you look for it, try pressing Ctrl+ Win+ Print Screen or Fn+ Win+ Print Screen.

4. Find the screenshot.
You’ll find the screenshot inside of the “Screenshots” folder, which is inside of your computer’s pictures file.
