Taking a screenshot can be achieved in several ways in Windows 10 and 11, suited for different needs. Using the Print Screen key captures the entire desktop but may include more than required. The different shortcuts available provide options such as copying the current window or saving the full screen directly. For more precise needs, Windows 11 features the Snipping Tool, which allows users to select the specific part of the screen they want to capture, making it a better choice for targeted screenshots.
Using the Print Screen key can be straightforward but not always the most efficient method for taking screenshots, as it can capture excess material beyond your needs.
The Print Screen key can function differently based on the combinations you use. Using just Print Screen copies the whole desktop, while Windows Key + Print Screen saves the entire screen to select folders.
The Snipping Tool in Windows 11 is an effective way to capture specific parts of the screen immediately, allowing for more control over what you want to share.
Capturing multiple windows or partial images can often require different techniques, as the default Print Screen method may not capture layered windows as intended.
