Sooner or later, users of home computers, laptops and netbooks are faced with the need to "photograph" the screen. And to photograph without other devices, exclusively by the monitor itself. Sounds like nonsense? And yet it is possible! This photo is called a screenshot, or screen. The need for it arises for various reasons. In this connection, every PC user should know how to take a screenshot of the screen on a laptop, regardless of experience, age and gender.
There are only two ways - through the built-in Windows programs and keys, or by attracting third-party utilities. The first method is the simplest and most reliable. Why? Because before you take a screenshot of the screen on a laptop, you just need to perform a series of simple clicks. The second is somewhat more complicated and requires special skills in using graphic programs, the ability to download utilities from the Web, and also read all the program items in English. Why? Because most programs of this nature are presented in English. Although there are worthy Russified representatives who know the principles of working with screenshots. For example, this is Screen Video Recorder 2.5.20.211. The version of this utility is not only Russian, but also free (on some resources it is “shareware”). Its capabilities are vast: it will not only tell you how to make a screen screen on a laptop, but it can also record the video you are watching. Even a beginner can deal with it.
If there is no desire to download unnecessary programs, you can take advantage of what is available in Windows itself. This is a simple graphical editor - Paint. It is by default available on all versions of software. How to take a screenshot of a laptop screen using Paint? It's simple: open the document, website or image that you want to "take a picture". Press the button "Prt Sc - Sys Rq" on the keyboard. Once! Next, open your editor and click the "Paste" button. If you don’t see one, the key combination “Ctrl” and “V” will help. Your "photo" will open in the editor. You can do anything with it. The main thing is not to forget to save later. Important information: you will take a "photo" of the entire screen! This means that absolutely everything that you see on the monitor will be reflected in the screen. If you need to capture only the area of the screen that is directly open, you need to press the alt key in addition to the “Prt Sc” button. Unfortunately, this method is very limited. Using it is difficult to make the most accurate screenshots.
How to take a screenshot on a Samsung laptop? Just like on any other. The necessary button is on the keyboard for any model of laptop or netbook. It is located, as a rule, in the upper left corner of the keyboard. If the need to make a screen arises quite often, then it is better to download a special utility. The advantages of its use are obvious - more features, simplicity and convenience. Before you take a screenshot of the screen on a laptop, open the file you want to screen. Use only those programs that are virus free and do not endanger the security of your PC!
