To capture a Windows screen...

  • Press the Print Screen key on the keyboard to capture an image of the entire screen(s) and store it in the Windows clipboard.
  • Press Alt + Print Screen to capture an image of only the active window and store it in the Windows clipboard.
  • (Note: Some keyboards require pressing the Fn key before and simultaneous to the Print Screen key. Look for color matches on the keys.)

When the desired image is stored in the windows clipboard (only one image can be stored at a time), it can be saved by opening a word process program (Microsoft Word, etc.) or an image manipulation program (such as IrfanView), and selecting Paste from the Edit menu (or CTRL - V)
