It&#39;s on the far right of the top row of your keyboard, near the Insert and Delete keys. Using this method, you probably won&#39;t see any indication that the screenshot &#34;took.&#34; For a more visual cue, use the key combination Windows &#43; Prt Sc. When you use this shortcut, your screen will flash black for an instant to confirm the capture happened.

The other options let you draw a rectangle to capture, make a freeform shape, or grab the active window. However you take the screen, Windows will save it to the clipboard and save folder, and a notification will appear. Click the notification (which includes a thumbnail of the screen you just took) to open a customization window.

Under the Mode menu, select the type of selection you want to use. To capture the entire screen, click Full-screen Snip, but you can also choose a rectangular section, a single window, or draw a custom shape. Snipping Tool will open the screenshot in a new window, where you can use the tools up top to make notes and highlights before you save the screenshot.
