The traditional method of printing screen on a laptop involves using the printscreen button to capture the view.

This option is called the snipping tool and is built into every laptop that uses Windows.
To access the snipping tool, press the Start button and type “s” and “i”. You will see a logo of a scissor, which is the snipping tool. Click on it to open the app. Next, select “New” and you can print screen anywhere you want by left-clicking on your mouse and dragging to the desired location. You can then save the file as a JPG, GIF, or PNG.
The snipping tool can also be used in programs like Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. To use it in these programs, simply open the program, press “Ctrl + V” to paste the image, and insert it into your document.
In conclusion, the snipping tool is a simple and effective way to print screen on your laptop without using the printscreen button.
