Windows 8 has a great screenshot feature that you can use without any extra software. To take a screenshot in Windows 8, just open the Start screen and type “screenshot” into the search bar. Then, click on the screenshot you want to take.
Today we are going to show you a nifty new shortcut built into Windows 8 that lets you capture everything that’s on your screen–this is the first time that Windows has really included a built-in way to capture screenshots.
