It is important to know that there are different options to take screenshots in Windows 10 and TechnoWikis will explain the different ways in which these tasks can be performed, remember that when a screen is captured it is housed in the clipboard and from there we can paste it where necessary ..

 

With the Windows 10 screenshots we can cut a part of what we are seeing on the monitor at that time. By taking a screenshot we can save some content that we have seen and that we do not want to lose, from a website to a photo that we cannot download.

1. Take screenshot on PC with Print Screen key

Step 2

This method captures the entire current screen, if we want to only capture the current window we must use the following combination:

 

Alt + Print Pant

 

 


2. Take screenshot on PC with Windows key + Print Screen

 

Step 1

This option allows capturing the current screen with the difference that when using the following keys the image will be automatically saved in the following path:

 

 

+ Print Pant

 C: \ Users \ user \ Pictures \ Screenshots 
Step 2

From there we can manage the images as necessary, this image will be saved in PNG format.

Alt + Print Pant
