How to Take Screenshots on Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Other Windows

Go to the Start menu, find and open the Snipping Tool if you want to take a partial screenshot on your PC.

If you want to change the custom options, click the Options menu on the top menu bar, and set it according to your preferences. Hit OK to confirm it.

Click the downward icon next to the New menu, and select an appropriate mode. Here we choose Rectangular Snip. The Free-form Snip is used to capture an irregular shape.

Next, use your cursor to enclose the desired area on your screen. Once you release your mouse, you will be taken to the editor window. Here you can draw on the screenshot.

At last, click the Save menu to save the snip to your hard disk. Or press the Copy menu to copy the snip to your clipboard or hit the Email icon to send the screenshot to your friend via email.

Press the Win + Shift + S keys on your keyboard at the same time.

Then you will be presented with the Snip & Skitch tool on the top of your screen, and your screen is masked. The first icon is Rectangular Snip mode, the second icon is Free-form Snip mode, the third is Window Snip mode, and the last is Full-screen Snip mode. To snip a screenshot on a specific area on Windows 10, choose the Rectangular Snip icon.

Draw on the desired area, and you will be taken to the Snip & Skitch window. On the top of the window, you can find several tools to add paint to the image or crop the snip.

When you are satisfied, click the Save, Copy, or Share icon on the top right side and export the screenshot.

Now, you will get a choice to screenshot a specific area on Windows 11 using a rectangular selection or freehand selection. The last two icons are used to capture a window or full-screen capture.

Draw with the cursor to select the desired area. If you use freehand selection, make sure to click over the target area. Once you release the cursor, you will see a thumbnail of the screenshot in the lower right corner.

Here you can paste the screenshot to another application directly. To edit the screenshot or save it as an image, click on the thumbnail. Then you can mark up the image with the pen or highlighter tool, or crop it.

Finally, save or share the screenshot with the menu at the top right corner. If you want to get more editing features, paste the screenshot to MS Paint, Paint 3D, etc.

Open your Edge browser, and navigate to the webpage that you want to save.

Click the Camera icon at the upper right corner, or click the Options button with a three-dot icon and choose Web Capture, or right-click on the webpage and choose Web Capture. Then select Capture full page to take a scrolling screenshot immediately.

Next, you can draw on the webpage with the Draw tool.

Click the Save icon and export the long snip to your disk or hit the Copy icon to copy it to your clipboard for use in another application.

Install the freeware and Windows will add the app to the system tray. Open the target application or webpage on your desktop.

Right-click the ShareX icon in the system tray, select Capture, and click Scrolling Capture.

Select the target window. Then configure the options in the Before capture and After capture sections on the Scrolling capture dialog based on your preferences.

Next, click on the Start scrolling capture button and the freeware will work immediately. Then you will be taken to the preview dialog. Here you can retouch the screenshot.

At last, click on the Upload/Save button, enter a filename, and hit Save. By default, the screenshot will be saved to C:UsersusernameDocumentsShareXScreenshots.

Press Win + Shift + S to open the Snipping Tool. On Windows 10, the combination will open Snip & Sketch tool.

Choose the Full-screen Snip or Full-screen mode to capture the full screen.

Then you will be presented with the preview window. Here you can crop unwanted areas, or draw on the screenshot.

Next, save, copy, or share the screenshot.

Press Win + G keys on your keyboard to open the Game Bar on Windows 11/10.

Click the Camera icon on the Capture panel to screenshot the full screen.

Then it will be saved to the Videos/Captures folder under the user folder.
