How To Take A Screenshot On A Lenovo Laptop | How To Take A Screenshot With Windows

lenovo-laptop-screen-print screenshot lenovo | screenshot windows

With this page, we show you more than 2 great ways to take a screenshot (print the screen to a file) of your screen with your laptop Lenovo or Thinkpad. Lenovo is a brand of computer that runs using 'Windows'. So in fact it is the Windows software that you use to take the screenshot. This also means that you will know how to take a screenshot on any Windows machine! 

Windows Screen Shotting

Note: You will find this works on the majority of windows based laptops so read on to TAKE A SCREENSHOT WITH WINDOWS.
Lenovo, Thinkpad, Dell etc...

Method 1 The Snipping Tool

Find and use the Windows Snipping Tool

The snipping tool is a tool that allows you to draw around an area of the screen. That area then is saved as an image to send or use as you wish. 

  1. Step 1 Click on The Start Button
  2. Step 2 Type "snipping tool" in the search box
  3. Step 3 Select NEW or MODE from the snipping tool interface
  4. Step 4 Select the kind of image you would like: Free Form, Rectangular Snip, Window Snip, Full Screen Snip

Use the Snipping Tool. This is the preferred method. The snipping tool is available from windows 7 and upwards you can assume you have it.

It can be fun to play and experiment with the 4 forms but mostly you might like the rectangular snip as this goes around 'windows' naturally and is neater and faster.

Before the snipping tool was available windows users would usually use the print screen key and then paste (Ctrl+v) into the paint program. This was very clunky and made me cringe at how clunky this was given it is such an essential function. It's major downside apart from how clunky it is is that you get the whole screen.

Stop buying cheap cables! Cheap cables ruin your battery life and break in 3 months! Chargies were designed to protect your phone battery and allow super fast charging safely. With a braided skin they don't degrade like rubber. Try a Chargie today! Compatible with all Apple lighting products.

Method 2 Use the Print Screen Key

Use the Print Screen Key to capture the whole screen (even with dual monitors) and the paste (ctrl + v) this into a programme like paint. You can then edit the screenshot or save and attach in an email.

Alternative Options

There are some really good apps that have plugged the gaps and work even nicer than the snip tool. Some have free options like SKITCH and Markup Hero and work very well. They offer the ability to hold the screenshot on a webpage and then a link allows the user to view that. Privacy is more of a concern but for some cases the screen is uninteresting and these tools like skitch allow things like blurring out detail and annotations. I use it a lot. Another option is Lightshot but it doesn't seem very easy to delete something that you take and gets uploaded. It can be done by mailing in!

Markup Hero 

A newcomer to the screenshot and annotation space is Markup Hero which offers a web based approach with the ability to create a shareable link and edit past annotations.


Capture a Screen Shot AND Menu with Windows

If you need to capture an open menu you need to master using Control (Ctrl) and PrtScn which will capture the whole screen and then you can use this with the snip tool.

Also worth mentioning that to be careful with sending your screen to people or sharing such captures. You might be showing them some information that is private such as spreadsheets with private data. So consider this and therefore use some way to paint out the private data. Even if you trust the person you are sharing to they might have good intentions but just not be very good with online security.

if you are unable to take the screenshot then Printscreen also works. You can find a key on the top left of the keyboard on your Lenovo laptop. Take the Printscreen and paste it on Paints or MS Word.
