It's not the most complicated thing to do, but how to actually take a screenshot isn't always that obvious or apparent. Given how useful they can be for work reasons, or for showing friends something that they really ought to see online, taking screenshots is something that everybody should know how to do.
Print Screen
The easiest way to take a screenshot on Windows 10 is the Print Screen (PrtScn) key. To capture your entire screen, simply press PrtScn on the upper-right side of your keyboard.
The screenshot will be saved to your Clipboard. To save the file, paste the screenshot into any program that allows you to insert images, like Microsoft Word or Paint.
Windows + Print Screen
To take a screenshot on Windows 10 and automatically save the file, press the Windows key + PrtScn.
Your screen will go dim and a screenshot of your entire screen will save to the Pictures > Screenshots folder.
Alt + Print Screen
To capture only the active window you're working in and copy it to your Clipboard, press Alt + PrtScn. You'll need to paste it into another program to save it.
