Step-by-Step Guide to Taking a Partial Screenshot on Windows Keyboard

Taking a partial screenshot on Windows can be a useful way to capture only the most important parts of your screen. Whether you need to share an image with someone or just want to save it for later, this guide will show you how to take a partial screenshot on Windows using your keyboard.

1. Open the window or application that contains the content you want to capture. Make sure that all of the content is visible and that nothing is hidden behind other windows or applications.
2. Press and hold down the “Alt” key and then press “PrtScn” (Print Screen) at the same time. This will take a screenshot of your entire screen, including any open windows or applications in the background, but it won’t save it yet.
3. Open an image editing program such as Paint, GIMP, Photoshop, etc., and paste (Ctrl + V) your screenshot into it by pressing Ctrl + V at the same time on your keyboard.
4. Use your mouse cursor to select only those parts of the image that you want to keep in your partial screenshot by dragging over them with left-click held down until they are highlighted in blue color selection box(es).
5. Once everything has been selected correctly, press Ctrl + C at once on your keyboard again to copy (Ctrl + C) only those parts of the image which were highlighted in blue color selection box(es).
6 Finally paste (Ctrl + V) this new partial screenshot into any document or application where you would like it saved by pressing Ctrl + V at once again on your keyboard
