This method of taking screenshots in Windows 10 is a kind of difficult, but with the help of this tips you can take faster and more precise screenshots without the need for an overpriced app. How do we go about this?, There is a button dedicated to almost every keyboard called the Print Screen(Abbreviated as PrtSc orPrtScn).

When you press this it captures the entire screen (or double if you use more than one monitor) Then copy it to the clipboard and paste it to paint in order to save the screen shot, There you can crop and edit the screen shot and also save it as an image.
But there is a faster and easier way to grab your screen in windows 10 without installing or getting expensive apps or programs.

3 Tips To Take Faster Screenshot On Windows 10

1. Use Modifies Keys

A new screen capture, "Hot Key" combination was introduced with Windows 10. Holding down the Windows key and pressing the Print Screen button would help to save screenshot as an image instead of the need to paste the capture into Paint to save it manually. This will be saved in "This Pc" or "Pictures or "Screenshots"
In the case of you having two monitor and you want to capture a single open window without everything else, Hold down Alt while pressing the PrtSc button, This will only capture the current active Window. You must click inside the window you want to capture before pressing the combination.
In case this doesn't work with the Windows modifier key and Pressing Windows + Alt + PrtSc doesn't do anything at all, when you use the Alt + PrtSc hotkey, you will still need to paste the capture into Paint and save it.

2. Use Onedrive Or Dropbox

If you use the onedrive or Dropbox microsoft application installed on your windows machine, You can have all screen captures saved to your cloud storage automatically. This will help you save any of your Alt + PrtSc captures as images without the need to paste into paint.
Captures that are made with the Print Screen key would be saved automatically,either at the OneDrive > Pictures > Screenshots or Dropbox > Screenshots and automatically syned to your cloud storage.

To Enable This feature In Onedrive

i. Click the Show hidden icons button in the Notification Area in the Taskbar.

ii. Locate and right-click on the OneDrive icon.

iii. Click Settings.

iv. Open the Auto Save tab and check the box beside Automatically save screenshots I capture to OneDrive.

In Dropbox

i. Click the Show hidden icons button in the Notification Area in the Taskbar.

ii. Locate and right-click on the Dropbox icon.

iii. Click the settings drop-down in the upper right corner of the window that appears.

iv. Click Preferences and open the Import tab.

v. Check the box beside Share screenshots using Dropbox.

More Precise ScreenShots

Windows also comes with screen-capture software installed, it's called the Snipping Tool which is the best for more precise screen captures which can only capture a sprecific part of your screen.
Click the Start Button, type "Snipping Tool", then click on the app to open it. To capture an open window, click the drop-down menu beside New, select Window Snip and click on any window. Everything visible within the borders of that window (including other windows that overlap it) will be captured and available to edit, annotate, share or save as an image within the Snipping Tool app.

You can also use the Snipping Tool to select a custom portion of the screen. Click the dropdown beside New and select Free-form Snip or Rectangular Snip. Click once and hold to initiate the capture, drag until you've selected the entire area you want to capture, and release to finish.
