Windows 10 has a great feature called " screenshot “. When you take a screenshot on Windows 10, the screenshot is saved as a JPEG file. You can then use this JPEG file to create a PDF or other document. To take a screenshot on Windows 10 without using a keyboard, you first need to open the " Screenshot " app. This app is located in the " System32 " folder. Once you open the " Screenshot " app, you will see a screen that looks like this: You can use the arrow keys to move the camera around and the left and right arrow keys to zoom in and out. The top left corner of the screen is where you want your screenshot to be taken. The bottom right corner of the screen is where your document will be created if you choose to create one. If you want to save your screenshot as an image, just click on the " Save As” button and then type in a filename for your document. If you want to share your screenshot with others, just click on the " Share" button and then type in a URL for your document.
What if you need to take a screenshot in Windows 10, but you don’t have a “Print Screen” key on your keyboard—or you don’t have a keyboard at all? Luckily, it’s easy to capture your screen using only a mouse thanks to a built-in tool called Snip & Sketch. Here’s how.
To run Snip & Sketch without a keyboard, open the Start menu and locate “Snip & Sketch” in the alphabetical applications list. Click its icon to launch it.
With Snip & Sketch open, click the “New” button.
Using a toolbar that appears at the top of the screen, you can perform a rectangular snip, a freeform snip, a window snip, or a fullscreen snip. Click the option that matches what you want to capture, then select part of the screen if necessary.
After you’ve captured your screenshot, you’ll see a preview of the output in the Snip & Sketch window. To save the screenshot, click the “Save” button, which looks like a tiny floppy disk.
In the file save dialog, browse to where you want to save the screenshot. The neat thing about Snip & Sketch is that it automatically names your screenshot with a timestamp so that you don’t need a keyboard to type in a new name. When you’re ready, click “Save.”
Your screenshot has now been saved, no keyboard required.
If you think you’ll be taking a lot of screenshots this way, you might want to pin Snip & Sketch to your taskbar so that you don’t have to find it in the Start menu every time. To do that, right-click the Snip & Sketch icon and select “Pin to taskbar.” Have fun taking screenshots!
