In brief

Master quick and easy ways to capture your screen on Windows 10, whether you need a full desktop shot, a specific window, or a custom shape. This guide covers built-in tools and keyboard shortcuts—no extra software needed—and shows where to find your saved screenshots afterward.

Key steps

  1. Select screenshot type: full screen, window, rectangular, or freeform.
  2. Press Windows + Print Screen for full-screen capture to Pictures/Screenshots.
  3. Use Print Screen alone to copy screen to clipboard (paste into Paint).
  4. Choose save location in Snipping Tool before capturing.
  5. Find screenshots in C:\Users\(YourName)\Pictures\Screenshots (if OneDrive sync is off).

Questions & answers

What if I don’t have OneDrive? Will my screenshot still save?

No—without OneDrive sync, Print Screen alone copies to clipboard only; paste into Paint to save.

Description from the creator

In this tutorial, find out how to take a screenshot on your PC and learn how to find the screenshot. Learn about the Snipping Tool and how to use the print screen keyboard shortcuts.

I walk through how to launch the snipping tool and how to use the tool. I also walk through a few different keyboard shortcuts to take a screenshot. Take full screen snips, window snips, rectangular snips, or free form snips. No download required! Take screenshots of your desktop, browser, games, or other apps.

📚 RESOURCES
- For the Snipping Tool, you can choose where to save the screenshot.
- Windows + Print screen saves screenshots to C:\Users\(YourName)\Pictures\Screenshots
- Print Screen saves screenshots to C:\OneDrive\Pictures\Screenshots (as long as you have oneDrive sync enabled. Otherwise your screenshot is available via the clipboard and you need to paste into Paint and then save the file)
