Typically if you are using a Windows based PC computer then all you have to do in order to create a screenshot and open it within paint software which then gives you several other options for editing it or even printing or saving the file as another type of image, is basically whatever screen you are looking to copy or screenshot specifically when it is visible on your screen, all you do is press the "print screen"(actually key only reads "PRT SC" on it) button or key located on the keyboard usually next to the "delete" key or somewhere in that area above the "backspace" key. Once you press the "print screen" (actually the key only has the letters "PRT SC" on it), then you open the paint application/software to a new or blank document and simply select the "paste" command from the edit menu or it should be directly below the save option on the screen in the upper left corner of the application. Or if you would prefer to use the keyboard shortcuts all you have to do after opening the blank document in paint is hold and press "ctrl" + "v"at the same time and it should immediately paste the printed screen into the application. From there you are free to print, save or edit the image of your screen as you want.

Press the F1 key on your keyboard to take a screenshot.It's worth mentioning that screenshots can and will overwrite older screenshots. As I recall, you can only take a maximum of five screenshots before older screenshots will be overwritten -- ie, WQscreenshot1 through WQscreenshot5. Taking a sixth screenshot will overwrite WQscreenshot1.It's best to rename screenshots you want to keep.
