How to Screenshot on an HP Laptop

How to screenshot an HP laptop is described in this article. The guidelines work with Windows 10 and 11.

In Windows, take a screenshot using the keyboard.

To copy the current screen to the clipboard, press the Prt Sn (Print Screen) button. It is located close to the Insert and Delete buttons in the top row of your keyboard, on the far right.

  Press the Windows Key+Prt Sc when the desired screen is active. Your screen will briefly flash. Screenshots are automatically saved to This PC > Photos > Screenshots.
