Screenshot without print key - how it works

Usually, a screenshot is taken on a Windows PC by pressing the [Print] key. However, many notebooks and laptops do not have this button. In this case, Windows still gives you the option to take a screenshot without using third-party software.

Creating screenshots with the snipping tool

The snipping tool is available by default in Windows. The software allows you to take a screenshot of a specific area.

1. Press the [Windows] key and type "Snipping" in the search box that appears. Confirm your search using the [Enter] key.
2. If your search is successful, the tool will be displayed and you can run it by left-clicking.
3. Now a small window will be available. Via a click on "New" you select an option through which the screenshot should be made.
4. As needed, use the tool to save a specific area on your screen.
5. After making the screenshot, you will see a preview within the window, which you then save to any location on your hard drive.

So können Screenshots ebenfalls angefertigt werden

1. Auch wenn viele Notebooks nicht über die entsprechende Taste verfügen, ist die Option dennoch vorhanden.
2. Untersuchen Sie Ihre [F]-Tasten. Oftmals ist [Druck] als zweite Belegung über die Kombination mit der Taste [Fn] verfügbar.
3. Wenn dies der Fall ist, können Sie wie gewohnt einen Screenshot anlegen, indem Sie die beiden Tasten kombiniert drücken und den Screenshot anschließend abspeichern.
