How do I take a screenshot on Windows?

Updated over 4 months ago

When the window you want to capture is on your screen, please follow the steps below:


1. Select the Start button, then type snipping tool in the search box, and then select Snipping Tool from the list of results.





2. In Snipping Tool, select Mode. In earlier versions of Windows, select the arrow next to the New button. Next, when you choose the kind of snip you want, you’ll see the whole screen change slightly to gray. Then, choosing from anything currently displayed on the screen, select the area of your screen that you want to capture.



3. After you capture a snip, select the Save Snip button.


4. In the Save As box, type a file name, location, and type, and then select Save.
