Step-by-Step Guide to Taking Screenshots on an HP Chromebook
Taking screenshots on an HP Chromebook is a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps. This guide will walk you through the process of capturing and saving screenshots on your HP Chromebook.
Step 1: Locate the “Ctrl” and “Window Switcher” keys on your keyboard. These are usually located at the top row of your keyboard, near the function keys.
Step 2: Press and hold down both the “Ctrl” and “Window Switcher” keys simultaneously for two seconds. This will capture a screenshot of whatever is currently displayed on your screen.

Step 4: If you want to save or share the screenshot, you can open it from within Files or drag it into another folder, such as Google Drive or Dropbox, where it can be accessed from any device with an internet connection.
Following these steps should allow you to take screenshots quickly and easily on your HP Chromebook whenever needed!
