How do I take a screenshot on PC that is a Windows 8?

Answer 1

To take a screenshot on a Windows 8 PC, you can follow one of the following methods:

1. Press the "Print Screen" key (usually labeled as "PrtScn" or "PrtSc") on your keyboard. This will capture the entire screen.

2. To capture and save the screenshot directly to the "Pictures" folder, press the "Windows key + Print Screen" together. The screen will momentarily dim, indicating that the screenshot has been taken.

3. Use the "Snipping Tool" which is a built-in program in Windows 8. You can open it by clicking on the Start button, searching for "Snipping Tool," and selecting it from the search results. Once the Snipping Tool is open, click on "New" and then drag the cursor to capture the desired area of the screen. After capturing, you can save the screenshot to a location of your choice.

4. If you have a Windows 8 tablet or touch-enabled device, you can press the "Windows + Volume Down" buttons simultaneously to capture a screenshot. The screen will dim momentarily, indicating that the screenshot has been taken.

After capturing a screenshot, you can locate it in the "Pictures" folder (in the "Screenshots" subfolder) or copy/paste it into an image editing program, such as Paint, for further editing or saving.
