Note: The Print Screen key on your keyboard could be abbreviated differently on your keyboard. It can be Prscr, PRTSC, PrtScrn, Prt Scrn, PrntScrn, or Ps/SR.

1. How do I take a screenshot of the entire screen?

Press PrntScrn on your keyboard = Save the entire image on the screen and copy it to your computer's clipboard.

If your keyboard doesn't have a PrntScrn key, press Fn and Insert together on the keyboard.

2. Where to find the key

3. Now it’s in the clipboard. How can I see it or use it?

Open a document or create a new one on Word, Outlook, Paint, or email. Any program that supports the pasting of images should be fine.

Press CTRL and V = Paste the screenshot into a document or image you just opened.

4. How do I take a screenshot of a specific window?

Press Alt and PrntScrn = Save an image of the active window to your computer's clipboard.

If your keyboard doesn't have a PrntScrn key, press Alt +Fn+Insert.

5. I hate remembering all the shortcuts. Is there a tool for taking screenshots on Windows7?
