Take a screenshot (print your screen)

Sometimes it's easier to show someone what's on your screen than it is to explain it. Windows makes it easy to take a picture of the screen so you can save, print, or share it. This is referred to taking a screenshot or screen capture.

You can take a screenshot and automatically save it as a file, take a screen shot without saving it as a file, or take a screenshot of only one window (instead of the whole screen).
