Taking a screenshot can vary slightly depending on the operating system and model of laptop you’re using. Here’s a general guide for some common operating systems
How to Screenshot on HP or Dell laptop
- Whole screen: Press the “PrtScn” (Print Screen) key. This captures the entire screen. You can then paste it into an image editor like Paint and save it.
- Active window: Press “Alt + PrtScn”. This captures only the active window. Again, you can paste it into an image editor and save.
- Windows key + Shift + S (Windows 10 and above): This brings up the snipping tool, allowing you to capture a specific area of the screen.
These methods should work on HP and Dell laptops running Windows operating systems. If you’re using a different operating system, such as Chrome OS or Linux, the methods might vary slightly, but the general principles remain similar.
