  2. Open an image editing software and press “Ctrl + V” to paste the screenshot.
  3. Save the screenshot by going to “File” and then “Save As.” Choose a location to save the screenshot and click “Save.”

Another method of taking a screenshot is by using the built-in “Snipping Tool.” To use this tool, follow these steps:
