Screen Capture on Windows 8 view LapTop without PrintScreen key?

2

On Windows 8.x you are allowed to take screen shots on the Windows 8 start screen and apps using the Print Screen key. And it works super, with my external keyboard, but not on my built in keyboard.

Problem is I don't have a Print Screen key visible, and the Fn+F10 doesn't work on the Windows 8 viewport even if selected.

How do I capture the Windows 8 screen without a Print Screen key?

1Does the Fn+F10 work as expected on the Windows desktop and in regular desktop-style applications? Have you tried Shift+Fn+F10 or alike yet? also, please edit your question to include the exact make and model of your notebook. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-07-14T20:05:59.657

@Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 It did on half-desktop half-windows8 mode, but not on full screen mode in either desktop nor Windows8 mode. – Benny Skogberg – 2014-07-14T20:08:59.677

Use Snipping Tool, which is readily installed in Windows 8. It has 4 options for you choose:

  • Free-form snip
  • Rectangular snip
  • Window snip
  • Full-screen snip

It actually worked! Having half screen in Windows8 and half on desktop it captured all in a full screen snip. Thank you Dai! – Benny Skogberg – 2014-07-15T05:15:28.413
