Press the button to the right of F12. It should read ' prtsc sysrq' or something similar.

Then you go into ms paint and paste it then save it.

After that go to Photobucket or any other image hosting site and upload.

You press the Print Screen button.


Doing this will copy whatever's on your screen. Afterwards, you just open Paint or a similar program and paste what you copied there, and save it.

1. Click on the PRTSC button. It is next to F12.

2. Open up Paint.

3. Paste that picture into paint. If you do not see the image, click on the dashed rectangle in the left hand corner.

4. Save file to your desktop.

5. Upload to Imgur

6. Copy-paste forums link

Basically what everyone else has said. The Print Screen button.

The Print Screen Button, usually located in the upper right hand corner of the keyboard and usually abbreviated Prnt Scrn.

Then you can open up MS Paint or some photo editing program and paste the image. The shortcut for past is Control + V (ctrl v)
