Tutorial: how to take screenshot on your pc/laptop using the keyboard

There are so many ways to take a screenshot of your pc or laptop screen. One common way is using the inbuilt system app called "snipping tool" but that's a long way and some people may not easily locate the application.
Today, i will be showing you how to take a screenshot with just pressing two keys on your computer.


Just hold down your "windows logo key" and press "prt sc key". It will capture the current screen but you will not notice that it has been captured if you are using windows 7 but you will notice it in windows 8 because your screen will get dim and come up again. After you have taken the capture, open PAINT (an inbuilt photo editor on all systems) and paste it there to crop the picture as you desire. To paste it there just press "ctrl + v" on your keyboard.

N.B: prt sc means (print screen) it varies in every computer. It might be written as "print screen" on your keyboard.
