Over the past years due to lack of money I have been stuck with a windows 7 Operating system in a crappy laptop and the experience has been great with regards to taking screenshots. As growth came and there was need for a change in operating system due to unending demands of new programming languages. I had to switch to the latest version of windows on a new laptop😊😊😊.
The following are some of the methods or approach i took in taking snapshots of windows especially on windows 11.
Using the [windows] key together with the [shift] key and letter "S". I literally mean [windows] + [shift] + [s]. The advantages if this is that you are rewarded with the opportunity of saving the image in your desired folder and not the clipboard.
An alternative way to do the above if you don't really understand my shortcuts is by using the snipping tool directly. This is implemented by:
- Going to the Start menu and typing "snipping tool" in the search bar, and open the app.
- click the new button to get access to the screenshot overlay
Pressing and holding the PrtSc. This literally captures your entire windows screen and saves it to your clipboard.
Using the Xbox game bar to take screenshots. You can use this method by using the hotkey: [windows] + [G] and then navigate to the capture area which is located at the top-left corner and click the Take screenshot option.
Making use of third-party apps. The app I recommend is the Bandicam App. It is not only lightweight but i allows you to take screen records and screenshots of windows screen in custom sizes.
Taking a screenshot of the entire screen and saving it directly to the .\pictures/screenshots directory: [Windows] key + [Print] key.
I basically make use of the first option as it is easy to use.
