HOW TO TAKE SCREENSHOTS ON ANY WINDOWS COMPUTER

Have seen so many people while watching film or browsing on line, when they come across something that is fascinating, probably clothes, phones, writeup, e.t.c. the next thing you see them do is grab their phone and use it in taking pictures from the screen of their PC.
Don't worry, taking screenshots on a computer without making use of your phones is as simple as ABC and that's what exactly you'll learn in this post.        There are different methods of taking screenshots on Windows PCs and its also different from one PC to another but the method in this post will surely work on Windows 8 / 8.1 Computers while the little changes that will make it work on other Operating System (OS) has been explained in the last paragraph below.

1. When you are ready to take a screenshot, press the ins/prt sc button on your keyboard.

2. Since you've pressed the ins/prt sc button, the screenshot has been taken but to see your screenshot (refer to 3).

3. Open the Paint App on your PC (Paint is under Windows Accessories or just search for it).

4. Now, press Ctrl + V (paste) under the Paint App and Voila, your screenshot is now displayed & ready to be saved.

5. Press the File option in Paint and click Save As to save the screenshot.


   If the method above does not work for you, just follow the same process as described above but look for the Fn button on your keyboard and press the Fn button + ins/prt sc button instead of pressing only the ins/prt sc button as stated in No 1. It will surely work for you this way. Now you can see that taking screenshot on Windows PC is as simple as ABC.
