How to Use Print Screen in Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

"Print screen" is another term for a screen capture, screenshot, or taking a picture of your screen. Taking a picture of your screen can be useful for a variety of reasons, such as uploading an image for a software manual. Though some PC keyboards even have a "Print screen" button while Mac keyboards do not, you can easily take a screenshot on a Mac and a variety of PC systems. If you want to know how to print screen in under a minute, just follow these steps.

1 Take a full-screen screenshot. Press the Prnt Scrn button on your keyboard to take a screenshot. This will take a shot of your entire screen.[1]
If Prnt Scrn is purple then press Fn + Prnt Scrn.

2 Take a screen shot of a single window. If you'd only like to take a shot of one window, then make sure the window is dominant on your screen and press Prnt Scrn + Alt.

3 Open Microsoft Paint. To do this, click on the Start menu, then "All Programs," then "Accessories," and then "Paint."

4 Paste the image into Paint. To do this, simply press Control + V or go to "Edit" and select "Paste." This will paste the screenshot into Paint.

5 Save the image. Click on "File" and "Save as" to save and name your file. Once you've named your file, click "Save." After this step is completed, you have used print screen and have successfully saved the image.
