How to Screen Record on a Dell Laptop with Windows 10/11 OS
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.
When it comes to screen recording on a Dell laptop, there are definitely some things you wanna watch out for. First off, be super mindful of what you’re recording. If you’re capturing anything that involves sensitive info—like personal chats, passwords, or sensitive work documents—make sure you’re not on display. I learned that the hard way when I accidentally recorded a whole chat full of private info once. Total facepalm moment!
Speaking of audio, keep an eye (or ear) on your surroundings. If you’re in a noisy environment—like a cafe or a busy household—those background sounds can totally ruin your recording. I remember doing a bunch of takes for a tutorial because my cat decided it was the perfect time to start meowing. Pro tip: record when it’s nice and quiet!
Make sure your laptop can handle the recording length. Recording long videos can fill up your storage really quickly! I once got caught off guard when I was in the middle of a long gameplay session, and my laptop popped a warning about low disk space. I had to rush and clear some files, which was super distracting. Check your storage before hitting that record button!
