Taking a screenshot on your Surface Pro 3 is a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps. This guide will walk you through the process of capturing an image of your screen and saving it to your device.
Step 1: Prepare the Screen
Before taking a screenshot, make sure that the screen displays exactly what you want to capture. If necessary, adjust any open windows or applications so that they are arranged as desired for the screenshot.

To take a screenshot on your Surface Pro 3, press and hold down both the Windows logo button and Volume Down button at the same time for two seconds. You should hear an audible sound indicating that a picture has been taken.
Step 3: Find Your Screenshot
The screenshots taken with this method are saved in PNG format in your Pictures folder under Screenshots. To access this folder, open File Explorer from either the taskbar or Start menu and navigate to This PC > Pictures > Screenshots. Here you will find all of your screenshots stored by date taken with their filenames beginning with “Screenshot” followed by numbers indicating when they were captured (e.g., “Screenshot (1).png”).
