Learn in this post how to capture a screenshot on your HP laptop. The guidelines work for both Windows 11 and Windows 10.

Capture Part of the Screen
To do this, hit Windows+Shift+S at the same time. To take a screenshot, simply move the mouse cursor over the area you wish to record. The copied excerpt will contain your selection.

Capture the Active Window
If you press Alt+Prt Sc, the current window will be copied to the clipboard. There will be no visible signs of the capture.
