There are plenty of ways to screenshot on a Lenovo computer. This article will guide you on how to take a screenshot on a Lenovo laptop or computer running Windows 10, and a simple screenshot method that works for Lenovo computers not running windows 10, just with an extra step. The process is simple on Lenovo tablets.
Taking a screenshot of your computer or tablet screen can be handy in so many ways. You can use it to illustrate to friends or colleagues the step-by-step of doing specific tasks. You can also use it to save an informational webpage for future reference or capture a social media post such as a tweet you think will disappear at any moment.
There are different methods of capturing your screen, depending on the laptop, computer, or tablet you are using.
Lenovo has a few different ways to take a screenshot, some of which only works using Windows 10, and some that work with other versions of Windows.
How to screenshot on Lenovo using Windows 10

The other way to take a screenshot on a Lenovo Windows 10 computer is to press and hold the Windows key, then press W on your keyboard. A sidebar menu will show up on the right of your screen.
