The introduction of screenshots on your computer screen can be helpful for several reasons. You might want to help someone with a step-by-step walkthrough, save a webpage for future reference, or screenshot frames of your favorite shows or movies. This article explains how to take a screenshot on a Lenovo laptop. Taking a screenshot works differently depending on the kind of computer you have and the software that it’s running. Additionally, a screenshot can prove to be extremely useful while reporting an issue. IT or Web Support teams often ask for a screenshot when you contact them about a technical problem.
If you have Windows 10 on your Lenovo laptop, here’s how to take a screenshot:
- Press the Windows key and Print Screen (Prt Sc) key together at the bottom right section of your keyboard beside the ‘Alt’ key.
- Once you press the keys, you’ll see your screen dim for a second. This will imply your Lenovo device has successfully taken a screenshot that is ready to use.
- Go to the ‘Screenshots’ folder from your Files to access the image.
If you don’t have Windows 10, use this method instead. It requires more steps, but it combines the functionality of the other two.
- Press the PrtSc (Print Screen) key on your keyboard to copy an image of your screen to the clipboard.
- Open Paint, or a similar application, and press control V to paste the open image in the program.
- Use the tools in Paint to mark up the image if you desire, then click “File” and “Save to” save it to your files.
