1 Take Screenshot by Windows key+PrintScreen

In windows 10, you can do windows key+ Printscreen. The system will take a screenshot and immediately save it to your hard disk in PNG format.

You can find the finished file at: “This PC” → “Pictures” → “Screenshots“.

If you simply want a screenshot without saving, you just want to paste it in a word file, then simply:

Press the PrtSc key. Windows will take a screenshot, but will not show it: the system will not save the image to the hard disk, but only copy it to the clipboard.

To see the screenshot, start Paint and paste the image into the program window using the Ctrl + V keys. If necessary, change the image using the editor.

Click File → Save As and save the screenshot in the format you want. The image will appear in the folder you specified. Instead of Paint, you can use any other graphics editor installed on your PC.

Without the effort of saving the screenshot, you can copy (Ctrl+C), paste (Ctrl+V) the screenshot you have taken;

If you want the screenshot to be saved, there is also an option for that.

Plus, you can mark a lot of things on the screenshot or take a screenshot on your screen of a particular area/part/section. Screenshot delays are also an option here, etc. Just try it out!

To take a screenshot in macOS it’s “shift+command+3” for a whole screenshot or “shift+command+4” to capture a portion of the screen.If you do “shift+command+4+Space bar,” this enables 

a window or menu to be captured. All screenshots are saved on the desktop.

Easy way to take screenshot in LinuxOS

This may vary between different distros in a Linux operating system, but usually most support the following:

PrintScreen” will save a screenshot to the “Pictures” folder of the entire screen.” Shift+PrintScreen” will allow you to select a specific screenshot area and save it to Photos.” “Alt+PrintScreen” saves the current picture window.
