how do I take a screen print

Press the "Print Screen" (⎙ PrtScr) key on your keyboard. This will capture an image of your entire screen and copy it to the clipboard. The dimensions of the image will be the same as your desktop resolution.
The ⎙ PrtScr button may be labeled "PrtScn", "Prnt Scrn", "Print Scr", or something similar. On most keyboards, the button is usually found between F12 and Scroll ⇩. On laptop keyboards, you may have to press the Fn or "Function" key to access "Print Screen". [1]
You will not receive any confirmation that the screenshot has been taken.

Just to follow on from Togo's reply, I'm assuming you'll want to save and view it at some point - in which case you'll after to open up a photo viewing app, such as "paint" and find the "paste" function (top left hand corner in paint) and paste the image in and save it.
Depending on what programs you've got installed, you may get a notification of some kind. I've got "Trusteer Rapport" installed and every time I take a screen shot from a protected website, it asks me if I want to block or allow the screen shot attempt.

Sorry about that Minty, I was sidetracked and posted before ready to. Changing light shades and so on....wimmin.
Now if you press the windows key bottom left and the PrtScn key simultaneously the screen image will be sent over to your pictures file in file explorer. Just click on screenshots folder that has been now put there in the pictures library. Open it and you can print or post it. Beware of posting as some pages will contain personal details at the top.

Press Alt at the same time as Print Screen and you just get the window you have made active.

If you have Windows 10 and just want a small section of what's on your screen - a recipe or something like that - you can use the snipping tool which is a marvellous feature.

There'd be 'answer removed' if it had gone.


Maybe it didn't send first time.
