  Step 1:  Screenshot Defined

A screenshot or screen capture is an image of your desktop for use in a document. This is useful for training purposes.
  Step 2:  Hot Keys

Windows has two hotkeys that can be used to obtain shots. They are PrtSc and Alt+PrtScn.
  Step 3:  Using PrtScn

Open a Report
The PrtScn key allows you to capture the entire desktop for use as an image. This can be very useful.
  Step 4:  Using Alt+PrnScn

Alt+PrcSn allows you to capture the top window on your desktop, and is used as an alternate to PrtScn. Sometimes, you do not want or need the whole desktop to display --only a specific option of a program.
