It Is Possible

Although it may be a little different from operating systems I will explain how to take a screenshot with your computer and nothing else.

There are processes to take a screenshot for other devices such as Mac's, Android's, Chromebooks and so on. In fact the screenshot process even differs from keyboard to keyboard.

Here, to keep it simple and short, I will explain the process for a common keyboard and Windows PC.

The Process

• Ensure you have your screen looking the way you want it when you capture it.
• Locate the PRINT SCREEN button.
  • Not all keyboards have them but the ones that do are sometimes labeled PRT SC or PRT SCN and can be found in the upper right area of the keyboard.
• You will notice that nothing happens, of nothing seems to happen.
  • Actually your computer snapped an image of your screen and is holding in in temporary memory on the clipboard.
• Now Open Paint or a photo program of your choice, even MS Word will work.
• Position your cursor where you wish to paste the screenshot.
• Now Paste the image by using one of two methods as noted below.
  • Hold down you Control button (usually labeled ctrl) and press the letter v
  • Right mouse click and select Paste from the pop up box.

Below is another CC0 image I found that has a Print Screen key on it. See if you can find the key and comment your answer below. :-)
