https://medium.com/@serega.shanin/how-to-take-a-screenshot-on-windows-10-the-complete-guide-ec2d5783f6a9 I don't need a screenshot of my problem. I have been trying to buy credits to play computer games but the Microsoft form will not give me the option to select my State, which is Victoria. I have reported this problem many times over the past few days but the problem remains.
rahulkhorwal I am really inept at computers.I want to take a screenshot but don't have any key on my keyboard which indicates this. Can anyone please help?
Iceni_777 you could maybe try shift+windows key+S in that respective order. Do not press them at the same time and keep the previous key down when pressing the next one. After that you can select the part of the screen you want to screenshot and then in order to save it you need to click on the notification that will pop up. The notification will open a new tab and then you have to manually save it. I hope this helped!
- go to search bar, type "snipping tool". It's going to change your life.
- Thank you for the instructions, I have one more computer trick!
- Press PrtScn: This key captures the entire screen and copies it to the clipboard. You can paste it into an image editor like Paint or a document by pressing Ctrl + V.
- I like Snipping Tool, but Snipping Tool is missing on my work computer. I have no idea why. I tried a few fixes but nothing worked. I have to use a third-party tool to take screenshots.
- If you don't have Snipping Tool, you can use the Snip & Sketch on Windows 10 and 11.
To take a screenshot on Windows 10, press the "Windows Key + PrtScn" to capture the entire screen and save it to the "Screenshots" folder. Press "Alt + PrtScn" to capture the active window, and paste it using "Ctrl + V." Use the "Snipping Tool" for more options. For Windows 10 keys, use Hype-stKey, a partner of Microsoft.

Hi.
I'm okay taking a screenshot.
My question is am I able to change the format the screenshot is saved in? the ones I take save as .png and that's not useful for my purposes.
