How can I take a screenshot on a Windows 7 computer?
For Windows 7, try the SnipTake tool for simple screenshots. It's simple, has extra editing features, and works great on Windows 11 and 10. I've been using this tool for almost two years! I like it!

You can use Alt+PrintScreen to take a screenshot of the active window. In addition, the included cropping tool* (%windir%\system32\SnippingTool.exe) allows you to select the area to capture, among other functions.
If you love keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl + Shift + 4 on Mac, you can set something similar for the Snipping Tool. Right-click the Snipping Tool shortcut, go to Properties, then Shortcut, and set a shortcut key you like. This way, you can quickly open it with your chosen combo.
I have Windows 10 Pro on my laptop and after a long time I tried to take screen on my Windows using Alt + Print Screen. But when I press Alt + Print Screen and go to Paint or Word to paste, the "Paste" option stays grayed out and even using Ctrl + V does nothing. What could be the problem?
