How do you screenshot on a tablet PC keyboard?

Answered by Jarrod Smith

To take a screenshot on a tablet PC keyboard, you can use a slightly different method compared to a traditional keyboard. Tablets typically have a physical keyboard attached or a virtual keyboard on the screen. In either case, you can still capture a screenshot easily.

First, locate the PrtScn (Print Screen) key on your tablet’s keyboard. On some tablets, this key may be labeled differently or might require a combination of keys, such as Fn + PrtScn.

Once you have located the PrtScn key, press and hold the Windows key (usually represented by the Windows logo on the key) and simultaneously press the PrtScn key. This combination acts as a shortcut to capture the screen.

After you press the Windows + PrtScn keys, your tablet’s screen will dim momentarily, indicating that the screenshot has been captured. The image is then automatically saved to a designated folder on your tablet’s storage.

To access the captured screenshot, open the Photos or Gallery app on your tablet. Look for a folder named “Screenshots” or a similar name. The captured screenshot should be located within this folder.

In some cases, you may need to connect your tablet to a computer to access the captured screenshot. Connect your tablet to the computer using a USB cable and transfer the file from the tablet’s storage to your computer’s storage.

It’s important to note that the process described above may vary slightly depending on the tablet model and operating system you are using. Manufacturers often customize the keyboard layout and shortcut combinations, so you may need to consult your tablet’s user manual or manufacturer’s website for specific instructions.

Additionally, if your tablet does not have a physical keyboard, you can still capture a screenshot using the on-screen keyboard. Open the screen or app you want to capture, then swipe down from the top of the screen with one finger to access the notification panel. Look for the “Screenshot” or “Capture” option and tap it. The screen will flash momentarily, indicating that the screenshot has been taken. You can then find the captured image in the same “Screenshots” folder mentioned earlier.

Taking a screenshot on a tablet PC keyboard typically involves using the Windows key (or a combination of keys) and the PrtScn key. The process may vary depending on the tablet model and operating system, so it’s always a good idea to consult the user manual or manufacturer’s website for specific instructions.
