Win Print screen

Although there are numerous screen capture programs available for Windows (see screen capture), starting with Windows 7, the Snipping utility was included. However, screens can be captured and sent to the clipboard on any Windows computer via keyboard commands. The image must then be pasted into a program that accepts images (Paint, Word, etc.) to be printed or saved.
