Windows Key + PrtScn:

This method captures the entire screen and saves it as an image file. To use this method, press the Windows key + PrtScn. The screenshot will be saved to the Screenshots folder in your Pictures folder.

This method captures the active window and saves it as an image file. To use this method, press Alt + PrtScn. The screenshot will be copied to your clipboard, and you’ll need to paste it into another program to save it.

Print Screen (PrtSc):

This method captures the entire screen and copies it to your clipboard. To use this method, press the Print Screen (PrtSc) button on your keyboard. You can then paste the screenshot into any program that allows you to insert images, like Microsoft Word or Paint.

Note that the exact method for taking a screenshot may vary depending on your version of Windows and your hardware.
