How to Screen Record on a Dell Laptop with Windows 10/11 OS
- Aug 16, 2025
I won't use the built-in screen recording tool as it only has some basic functions. You need advanced features for recording professional videos. I am using this one and works great on my Windows 11 PC:

It supports lossless 8K/4K image quality and comes with a handy editing tool. So you can make some editing for the recorded videos.
Screen recording on a Dell laptop is super easy, and I’ve been using it for ages to capture everything from gameplay to video calls. If you're not feeling the Xbox Game Bar, you can also use Microsoft PowerPoint, which is pretty nifty! Here's how to screen record on a Dell laptop:
- Open PowerPoint and create a new slide.
- Go to the Insert tab, and find the Screen Recording option.
- Click on it, and your screen will dim. You can select the area you want to record by dragging your cursor.
- Hit Record! You can stop it by moving your cursor to the top of the screen, and clicking on the Stop button.
- PowerPoint will insert the recording into your slide. You can save it as a video by right-clicking on the video and selecting "Save Media As."
I’ve done this a couple of times for quick tutorials when I wasn’t in the mood for more complex options. The only catch is you need PowerPoint installed, but if you have it, it's a great alternative.
