Screenshots, also called screen captures, are just that — they're pictures of whatever it is that you're looking at on your monitor. This is also known as a 'print screen.' They can be pictures of a single program, the whole screen, or even multiple screens if you have a dual monitor setup.
The easy part is taking the screenshot, as you'll see below. However, where most people have trouble is when they're trying to save the screenshot, paste it into an email or another program, or crop out parts of the screenshot.
How to Take a Screenshot
Taking a screenshot in Windows is done in the exact same way no matter what version of Windows you're using, and it's very, very, easy. Just press the PrtScn button on the keyboard.
The printscreen button might be calledPrint Scrn, Prnt Scrn, Prt Scrn, Prt Scr, Prt Sc or Pr Scon your keyboard.
With the exception of the last print screen function described above, Windows doesn't tell you when the print screen button was clicked. Rather, it saves the image to the clipboard so that you can paste it somewhere else, which is explained in the next section below.
Download a Print Screen Program
While Windows works great for basic screenshotting abilities, there are both free and paid third-party applications that you can install for more advanced features like fine-tuning the screenshot by pixel, annotating it before you save it, and easy saving to a predefined location.
One example of a free print screen tool that's more advanced than the Windows one is called PrtScr. Another, WinSnap, is very good but it has a professional version with a fee, so the free edition lacks some of those more advanced features.

The easiest way to save a screenshot is to first paste it in the Microsoft Paint application. This is simple to do in Paint because you don't have to download it – it's included with Windows by default.
You do have other options like to paste it in Microsoft Word, Photoshop, or any other program that supports images, but for the sake of simplicity, we'll use Paint.
Paste the Screenshot
The quickest way to open Paint in all versions of Windows is through the Run dialog box. To do this, use the Win+R keyboard combination to open that box. From there, enter the mspaint command (Type mspaint into the Run field).
With Microsoft Paint open, and the screenshot still saved in the clipboard, just use Ctrl+V to paste it into Paint. Or, find the Paste button to do the same thing.
Save the Screenshot
You can save the screenshot with Ctrl+S or File > Save as.
At this point, you may notice that the image you saved looks a bit off. If the image doesn't take up the entire canvas in Paint, it will leave white space around it.

The only way to fix this in Paint is to drag the bottom right corner of the canvas toward the top left of the screen until you reach the corners of your screenshot. This will eliminate the white space and then you can save it like a normal image.
