Taking screenshots is easy in Windows 7. All you have to do is:

  1. Click on the Start Orb down the bottom left of the screen, and type "snip". Search results should show up, and near the top you should see "Snipping Tool" under "Programs". Open up Snipping Tool by clicking on it.


  2. The Snipping Tool windows will then show up, and your cursor should change to a "+" shape. You can then drag to select the area you want in the screenshot, whether it be the whole screen or just a section.
  3. The screenshot will then open in a new window where you can save it, edit it, discard it or copy it to the clipboard.
