Does any remember how to take a screenshot in Win 7 and then find it on the PC?

Answer 1

Dear John -PC,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A.

To take a screenshot in Windows 7, you could follow one of these methods below:

1. Using Print Screen key:
   • Press the PrtSc or PrtScrn on your keyboard.
   • Then go to Paint app, then Ctrl + V to paste.
   • Now you can Ctrl + C to copy again or save it as an image.
2. You can also press Windows + Shift + S to capture the screen, then Ctrl + V to paste anywhere you want.
3. Or you can use Snipping Tool:
   • Go to Start and type Snipping Tool.
   • The Snipping Tool window will open, and your screen will fade slightly.
   • By default, it's set to "Rectangular Snip." Click and drag your mouse to draw a box around the area you want to capture.
   • As soon as you let go of the mouse button, the selected area will be captured.

All of these three methods can be useful. I hope this could help. If you have any further issues, we are happy to assist.
