How To Capture A Screen Shot On Your PC

I use two methods. I won't go into the method I use the most because it requires a software product called "PhotoScape". "PhotoScape" is a free image program that does many of the same things "Photoshop" does.
The second method is easy peasy, lemon squeazy and for PCs only. The first step is to tap the "Print Screen" button in the top right quadrent of your keyboard. That will copy an image of your current PC screen to a small section of your PCs memory called the "Clip Board".
Note: The "Print Screen" button on your keyboard may have just "Print Screen" printed on it or like my keyboard it may have "Print Screen" -over- "SysRq". It's nothing to be concerned about. Works the same.
Once you have tapped "Print Screen" and have the screen image stored in "Clip Board" open Microsoft Paint (standard with all versions of MS Windows I've seen),
Next, place your cursor anyplace in the white space, hold down the "Ctrl" key and tap the "V" key (or click on the "Paste" icon which is on the left side of the tools area)
To save your screen shot to your PC, click on the noted button, move your cursor to "Save As" from the drop down menu, then to "Jpeg" on the next drop down menu. Left click on "Jpeg".
Name the file, decide where you want to save it to and left click on "Save"
You're done.
