With the release of Windows 10, taking a screen shot just got a whole lot easier. The best way is actually using the Snipping Tool that’s built in to the operating system itself. You do not need a 3rd party application.<\/p>\n

With the “Snipping Tool” you can now easily take a screenshot and save it or email it with a few clicks. No more pressing Print Screen, opening MS Paint, Photoshop or whatever you prefer, pasting it in and cropping it. You can do it all in seconds. This is a huge relief as I take multiple screenshots a day, or even hour.

1)<\/strong> To open the Snipping Tool go to Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories and you will find it in there.
\nI suggest right clicking on the icon and selecting Pin To Start Menu so that it is easily accessible in the future. I needed to do that because I use it constantly.<\/p>\n

An even quicker method of accessing the screenshot tool is press the Windows Key and simply start typing snipping. I use it so often after I hit S, it shows up. I literally just press Windows Key, S, Enter and it’s there.

2)<\/strong> From there you can simply drag a square around what you would like to screenshot or you can use some custom options. To access the options click on the New Menu.

Free-form snip<\/strong>. To draw irregular shapes and lines.
\nRectangular snip<\/strong>. Draw a custom and precise line by dragging the cursor around an area to form a rectangle or square.
\nWindow Snip<\/strong>. Capture the current window or dialog box in a snip.
\nFull-screen snip<\/strong>. Capture the entire screen, such as desktop background.
\n3)<\/strong> Add annotations or highlight if you would like to.

4)<\/strong> Save or send in email file. They make it very easy. You’re done! You have no successfully taken a screenshot in a few simple steps without the use of multiple applications and cropping.

A hint with the good old “prt scr” button. If you only want to capture a screenshot of the current window and not your entire desktop is you can hold the alt key while pressing prt scrn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
