Press the ⊞ Win and ⎙ PrtScr keys at the same time. Depending on the Lenovo laptop model, the Print Screen key may be in the upper right corner (next to the Delete key) or in the lower right corner (next to the arrow key).

This is the fastest and simplest method to capture the screen of a Lenovo computer. Use this method if you have Windows 10 or 11 on a Lenovo desktop or laptop.

Find your screenshot in the Pictures folder. Screenshot taken with the Win + Prtsc key combination is located at a location like ” C:UsersusernamePicturesScreenshots. ”

If you don’t see it there, try opening a program like Paint and pressing Ctrl + V to paste the backed up image into the cache.
Press Alt + PrtSc if you want to take a screenshot of the current window. Then open Paint and paste the screenshot in. Finally, you can save by going to File > Save .
If you press the PrtSc key without pressing Win , the Snip & Sketch tool will be opened (it’s a Levono-only feature that you may have discovered by accident). ^{[1] X Research Source}
