“How do you do a print screen on a Windows PC machine? I press the print screen button but I don’t see anything happening and I can’t find it anywhere.”
Pressing the Print Screen button does not automatically save an image. By pressing the Print Scrn key the image is copied onto the clipboard. Here are the steps on how to use the Print Screen:
1. Hit the ‘Print Scrn’ key.
2. Open up ‘Microsoft Paint’. Paint is a free graphics image program from Microsoft that comes free with your Windows operating system.
3. With Paint open, press the ‘Paste’ icon.
4. You can edit the image a bit if you’d like while the screen shot is open in Paint. You can resize it, rotate the image, add arrows and more.
5. Now all we need to do is save our screenshot. Simply head over to the top left corner and click on the ‘Save’ icon. You can choose the name and where to save it.
