If you seek to get a snapshot of a screen or any screen detail, you can do so in a laptop and Dell laptops are no exception to the rule. Like other systems of the same nature, these machines also entail a standard print screen button. In the Dell Laptops keyboards, they are present right beside the insert key. But keep in mind that the key is a multi-usage one. That means that the print screen function is not readily available. To that end, you have to press the “Fn” key while also pressing the “print screen” key. This process is no way tricky; it just takes some getting used to.
According to the experts of Dell Support Canada, once you get used to the entire process, you will be taking snapshots on your computer like a pro. You can accelerate this entire process by following the steps given below:
- Get the screen in the way that you want: To get the perfect screenshot, you need a perfect subject. To that end, you must arrange the icons and other contents on the screen in a way which looks aesthetically pleasing and suitable for you.
- Now that the stage is set, hold down on the function button: On the bottom of your laptop, you find the “Fn”. Generally, it is right beside the “spacebar”. Hold down this blue colored key.
- Finally, take the snapshot using the print screen key: Just as you are holding down the “Fn” key, press on the “Print Screen” key. Release both the keys at the same time. Now that the snapshot is stored, go to Start-> Accessories->Paint and paste the screenshot using “CTRL+V”.
