Taking the perfect screenshot on your Surface Pro 3 is easy and can be done in a few simple steps. Here are some tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your screenshots:
1. Choose the Right Tool: The best way to take a screenshot on your Surface Pro 3 is by using the Windows + Volume Down button combination.

3. Use Keyboard Shortcuts: To quickly take screenshots without having to open up any menus or tools, use keyboard shortcuts such as Alt + PrtScn (Print Screen) or Windows + PrtScn (Print Screen). These shortcuts will automatically save an image file of whatever is currently displayed on your screen in PNG format in Pictures > Screenshots folder located within File Explorer (Windows Explorer).

To do this, simply open up Paint 3D from Start Menu and then import the image file into Paint 3D by clicking “Open” from File menu at top left corner of window and selecting desired file from Pictures > Screenshots folder located within File Explorer (Windows Explorer). Once imported into Paint 3D, you can easily crop or resize images as well as add text and other effects before saving them back into Pictures > Screenshots folder located within File Explorer (Windows Explorer).
