How to Take a Screenshot on My Computer

For PC users:

There are two different ways to take a screenshot! 

For most Windows computers, by default, there is a nifty application called the "Snipping Tool" that can be located in Start (or Cortana). 

• Tap Start/Cortana>Search "S" or "Snipping Tool">Open Snipping Tool
  
• Once opened, tap "New" and drag your cursor over the area you would like to take a screenshot of (for more details here is a detailed article).
  
• After you've snipped the image you want, tap the save icon () and save it to the folder you want. Then go ahead and attach to your ticket via Zendesk or email!

For older Windows machines, the Snipping Tool may not be available. For those instances, please refer to the below steps. 

1. Press the PrintScreen or "PRTSCN" button on your keyboard. (Typically located near the F12 key).

2. Open your Microsoft Paint program.(You can search Paint and it will be the first program to populate in the search field).

3. After opening the Paint program, at the very top left hand side of the program, select "Paste"  to paste the image/screenshot.

Please note that you can also press "CTRL+V" on your keyboard to paste the image onto Paint.

4. After your image is pasted to paint, you can now save the file as either a JPEG, PNG, or BMP by selecting the blue drop down menu at the top left hand side of the program and clicking "Save As".
