The Print Screen button on your keyboard can take a screenshot and save it as a file, take a screenshot without saving it as a file, or take a screenshot of only one window (instead of the whole screen). The print screen button may be labeled as “PrtScn,” “PrntScrn,” “Print Scr,” or something similar. On most keyboards, the button is usually found between F12 and Scroll Lock. On laptop keyboards, you may have to press the “Function” or “Fn” key to access the Print Screen feature. When you press the key, it will look like nothing happened, but the screenshot has been saved to your clipboard.

For oldies like you you may want to set your box brownie up on a stable surface, moving the surface closer to the screen and using the viewfinder to then ensure you have the entire screen in view. After checking the aperture, lighting and shutter speed are appropriate for the conditions you may then proceed to take your camera shot. A visit to Snappy Snaps may then be required - assuming you have no access to a dark room. You may have a local Snappy Snaps that does a 2 hour turn around but it’s more likely an overnight service. After retrieving the pictures from said Snappy Snaps- often including a free film! - you should then carefully peruse to ensure you choose the best quality picture as any blurred or out of focus shots may be too low quality for your purposes. And voila, you have your very own screenshot to do with as you wish!

Thanks for that matey ...it actually works ! :). Online the instructions for taking a screen shot include having to open other features of Edge and then typing in long words ! By the time anyone did that the shot would have passed I think .

Is there also the snipping tool in Windows 7 and 10 that kinda does same thing?

With the Snipping Tool program open, instead of clicking "New," you can use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Prnt Scrn). The cross hairs will appear instead of the cursor. You can click, drag/draw, and release to capture your image.
