Without getting lost in the chatter, let’s see together all the methods at your disposal to take screenshots on Windows 11 without downloading or installing additional programs.
How to Screenshot Windows PC 11
As you probably know, even on Windows 11, as on other Microsoft operating systems, there are numerous methods to take and take screenshots.
Specifically, there are numerous keyboard shortcuts that can be used to quickly take a screenshot or system screen.
In case you don’t remember the combinations to press, I’ll refresh your memory with this guide.
Windows Screenshot 11 – Pressing the PrtSc key
The first shortcut to take a screenshot is to press PrtSc on the keyboard. Pressing this key will copy the screenshot of the entire screen, with all windows open, to the clipboard.
Note that this will not directly save the screenshot. You can paste the screenshot (using Ctrl + V) to Word or Paint and save it from there.
The screenshot will remain on the clipboard only until you take another screenshot or copy some text.

The second way to take a screenshot on Windows 11 is to press the PrtSc + Windows key combination on the PC. This will directly save the screenshot to the PC memory (the previous method, however, copied it to the clipboard).
Windows 11 Screenshot – Pressing PrtSc + ALT
As a third method, you can take screenshots on Windows 11 by pressing the PrtSc + ALT key combination on your keyboard. Pressing these keys will copy the screenshot ONLY of the open or active program/screen to the clipboard.

As a 4th method, you can take screenshots on Windows 11 by just pressing the fn + PrtSc key combination on your keyboard. Pressing these keys will give you the option to select the area you want to screenshot just like the Snipping tool.
