How to create screenshots for your computer screen or you need the screenshots in your files? The first thing you may think of is to search for free screenshot software on Google. However, most freeware you found are with advertisement or bundled software. Some even are useless software. The last and convenience method you choose is to press “Print Screen” button and then paste the photo to Paint for further edit. However, this method is not convenience at all!
In fact, Windows 10 are now with different built-in screen capture tools. Here we can more one by one.
Method 1：Capture Particular Area with Hotkey “Win+Shift+S”
Actually, Microsoft has notice users’ demand. And now users can create screenshot of specific area with hotkey of “Win+Shift+S” after the release of Windows 10 RS1(RedStone1).
However, this screenshot function also has some shortages. First, users can not edit the screenshot. If you want to make some mark on the screenshot picture, you need other tools. Besides, screenshots created with this function can only save to clipboard. So it is a little inconvenience to use this function.
Method 2: Take Screenshot with “Screen Sketch”
As we have mentioned before, capturing screen with hotkeys can not edit the created screenshot. But if you use the Screen Sketch function in Windows Ink Workspace, thing will be different. If the version of your Windows 10 is after Windows 10 RS1 Creator, you can find Windows Ink Workspace in the right side. And you could find the Screen Sketch to create screenshot easily.
