Step-by-Step Guide to Taking Screenshots on Alienware Computers
Taking screenshots on Alienware computers is a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps. Whether you need to capture an image of your desktop or a specific window, this guide will help you get the job done quickly and easily.
Step 1: Prepare the Screen
Before taking your screenshot, make sure that the screen displays exactly what you want to capture. If necessary, open any windows or applications that need to be included in the screenshot and arrange them as desired.
Step 2: Open the Snipping Tool
The Snipping Tool is a built-in Windows application that allows users to take screenshots of their computer screens. To open it, press “Windows + R” on your keyboard and type “snippingtool” into the Run box before pressing Enter. Alternatively, you can search for it using Cortana or by typing “Snipping Tool” into the Start menu search bar.
Step 3: Select Your Screenshot Type
Once opened, select which type of screenshot you would like to take from the drop-down menu at the top of the window (e.g., rectangular snip). You can also choose whether or not to include your mouse cursor in your screenshot by checking/unchecking this option at bottom left corner of window before taking your shot.
Step 4: Take Your Screenshot
Once everything is ready, click on New in order to begin capturing an image of whatever is currently displayed onscreen (or drag with mouse cursor if selecting rectangular snip). The area selected will appear inside a white border within its own window; if satisfied with selection simply save file as desired (e.g., .png) using Save As option located at top left corner of new window before closing it out completely when finished..
Step 5: View Your Screenshot
To view your newly created screenshot simply navigate back over to where it was saved (default location should be Pictures folder) and double click file icon; alternatively right-click file icon then select Open With > Photos from context menu for larger preview size if needed.. And there you have it – congratulations! You have now successfully taken a screenshot on an Alienware computer!
How to Use the Built-in Screenshot Tool on Alienware Systems for Capturing Images and Videos
Alienware systems are equipped with a built-in screenshot tool that allows users to capture images and videos. This tool is easy to use and provides a convenient way to capture screenshots or record videos of your screen. Here is how you can use the built-in screenshot tool on Alienware systems for capturing images and videos:
1. To take a screenshot, press the “Print Screen” button on your keyboard. This will save an image of your current screen in the “Screenshots” folder located in the Pictures library of your computer.
2. To record a video, open the Alienware Command Center application from the Start menu or desktop shortcut. Select “Recordings” from the left side menu and then click on “Start Recording” at the bottom right corner of the window. You can adjust recording settings such as resolution, frame rate, audio source etc., before starting recording by clicking on “Settings” at top right corner of window. Once you have adjusted all settings according to your preference, click on “Start Recording” again to begin recording video footage from your screen which will be saved in Videos library under Recordings folder when finished recording.
3. To take screenshots while playing games or using other applications that do not support Print Screen button, open Alienware Command Center application again and select Game Recorder from left side menu this time instead of Recordings option used earlier for video recordings . Click on Start Recording button at bottom right corner after adjusting settings according to preference if needed (same as step 2).

By following these steps you should now be able to easily capture images and videos using built-in screenshot tool available with Alienware systems without any difficulty .
