Taking a screenshot of your computer’s active window can be helpful in so many ways. For example, maybe you want to visually illustrate to your colleagues or employees how to carry out certain tasks or capture an error message to your company’s IT department for troubleshooting feedback. You can also capture a social media post like a tweet before they disappear.

Whatever the reason, taking a screenshot on your HP laptop, desktop computer, or tablet is very easy irrespective of the kind of HP model you own.

All it takes is just a few clicks or taps using the Print Screen key.

All HP laptops and computers have a Print screen key dedicated for taking screenshots; it’s located along the top row of function keys and is often labeled as “prt sc” or “prt scn” depending on your model. On most HP laptops and computers, the Print Screen key can be found beside the Delete key.

The process of taking a screenshot on your HP laptop or computer is as simple as pressing the Print Screen key. Just go to the page you want to screenshot on your computer and click prt sc. The screenshot will immediately be copied and saved to your clipboard.
