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.

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.

How to Use Shutdown, Sleep, Hibernate Modes for Your Laptop, Notebook, Computer

How to Use Shutdown, Sleep, Hibernate Modes for Your Laptop, Notebook, Computer

 Understand the difference between Shutdown, Sleep and Hibernate.

1 Shutdown: is a quite familiar shutdown mode with users.
When you select Shutdown, all opened programs will be closed along with the operating system.
After it has been shutdown, a computer will not consume power.
 However, if you want it to go back to work, you will have to turn it in,
wait for the system to boot, wait for the operating system to run and restart the required applications for the work.

2 Sleep: also known as Standby or Nap mode. In Sleep mode, the computer is put into a state that consumes
less energy than normal. Power is only used to maintain the system's memory with the applications and
 data you are working on while other parts of the computer will be shut down to save power.
When you turn on your computer from Sleep mode, the system will boot quickly and the data will be
retrieved from memory in a few seconds. You can quickly return to work without waiting for the system to restart from the beginning.

3 Hibernate: also known as hibernation is a less well-known mode. Hibernate is similar to Sleep mode,
 but instead of saving the data in RAM, in this mode the data will be saved to a file on your hard drive.
When you restart the computer from Hibernate mode, like Sleep mode,
 the operating system and running applications as well as your data will be removed from
the hard drive and loaded into RAM so that you can continue the work.


Use the mode

The use of the computer depends on the needs and habits of users. However, very few people
 take advantage of all the advantages and the convenience of these different modes.
There are people who always shut down the computer; there are also some who keep it on 24/7.
Sleep: Sleep mode is useful when you need to leave the computer for a short time, such as nap time.
Instead of letting the computer operate, you can put it in Sleep mode to save power and battery.
When you come back, you can quickly continue the work, instead of waiting for it to restart and the system's boot time.

Hibernate: Hibernate mode saves more power than Sleep. You should use this mode when not using the computer
 for a longer period of time, such as when you sleep at night and plan to continue the work on the computer in the next morning.

Shutdown: This is usually the most common mode for desktop users but those who use laptops often put
the machine in Hibernate mode, due to energy saving while still being able to quickly return to work. However, occasionally a few applications may not work properly when launched from Hibernate mode, at this point you will need to shut down and reboot. Sometimes computer users should reboot in order for the system to operate the most effectively.
