How to take a screenshot in Windows 10

There are good reasons why you might want to take a screenshot in Windows 10. A screenshot can be useful for quickly showing someone what’s on your desktop, or grabbing a quick moment from a video that you need to share. Windows 10’s built-in screenshot controls are easy to use, but they aren’t exactly obvious.

If PrtScn isn't working on your laptop, it's possible you can't access it without pressing a Fn or Function key. Many laptop vendors have started to combine key functions to save space. On the laptop example below, for example, the PrtScn button is combined with a shift key and a Fn key must be pressed to access the secondary function.
