A while back I posted instructions on how to take a snapshot of your monitor screen and turn it into a photo. I was quite surprised when I used it today and was no longer able to create a screenshot. After a bit of searching and finding similar instructions to my previous post, I found instructions on the NEW way to take a screenshot (PC):
Hold down the Shift and Fn keys and click the Print Scrn key – on my laptop computer it’s F11 key in the top row – yours may be a different F key on your computer or on a full keyboard it may be a separate key, but it will have some abbreviation of Print Screen written on the key and be in the upper right quadrant. The Fn key will likely be near the Shift key in the lower left quadrant.
From there, open your favorite image program (I use Photoshop, but most PCs come with Paint – look under Start – All Programs – Accessories – Paint. You can use Control + V to paste the screenshot into program.
A simple thing to do once you know the right key combination!
Hi Glo! There’s another cool trick too. You can just get a piece of the screen by using the “snipping tool”. It’s under all programs, then accessories!!! I thought you could only do that on a Mac

Thanks Carolyn! My oldie goldie computer doesn’t have it, but I’m posting your comment in case others do! Hope all is well with you and family!
