How to take a screenshot on a Windows PC,

laptop, or tablet, using built-in tools

If you have a laptop, a tablet or a keyboard with

the Fn key, do this instead of the first three
methods:
The first three methods should work perfectly well on desktop
computers with Windows or on Windows devices with a standard
keyboard. However, if you have a laptop or a convertible device
with a Fn key, then the PrtScn key does other things too, not just
take screenshots. Therefore, when you press the keyboard
shortcuts that include PrtScn key, Windows does not take a
screenshot. Instead, use one of the following:

 Fn + PrtScn - makes a screenshot of the whole screen and

copies it to the clipboard. It is the equivalent of pressing the
standard PrtScn key.
 Fn + Windows + PrtScn - takes a screenshot of the whole
screen and saves it as a file on the hard drive, without using
any other tools. Windows stores the screenshot in
the Pictures library, in the Screenshots folder. It is the same as
pressing Windows + PrtScn on a standard keyboard.
 Fn + Alt + PrtScn - takes a screenshot of the active window. It
is the equivalent of pressing Alt + PrtScn on a standard
keyboard.
