Step-by-Step Guide to Taking a Window Screenshot on Microsoft Surface Laptop

Taking a screenshot on a Microsoft Surface Laptop is an easy process. Follow these steps to capture the image of your screen:

1. Press and hold the Windows logo button at the bottom of your laptop’s keyboard, then press the Volume Down button. This will take a screenshot of your entire screen and save it as an image file in your Pictures folder.

2. If you want to take a screenshot of only part of your screen, press and hold down the Windows logo button, then press Shift + Volume Down buttons simultaneously. Your cursor will turn into a crosshair; click and drag it across the area you want to capture in order to select it for capturing as an image file in your Pictures folder.

3. To copy or share screenshots without saving them as files, press and hold down both Windows logo + Volume Up buttons simultaneously instead of pressing just one or two buttons at once like before; this will copy what’s currently on-screen into memory so that you can paste it elsewhere (e-mail, Word document etc.).

4. To view all screenshots taken with this method, open up File Explorer from Start Menu > Pictures > Screenshots folder; here you can find all images taken with this method stored in chronological order by date/time taken for easy access later on if needed!
