These 6 kinds of Surface 3 screenshots method, Win7 Desktop users can also learn

Screen capture is the function we often use, whether it is PC, cell phone or tablet computer, have their own screen-cutting methods. Microsoft Win8.1/win10 Tablet PC Surface 3 has been listed in various countries and regions, the first batch of users have already got this model. So how does surface 3 screen? We look at the following 6 methods introduced by the foreign media.

Method 1: The simplest method, hold down the Windows button (Power key), and then press the volume reduction key. The screen darkens for a second, and the screenshot is saved in the Screenshots screenshot folder of the photo gallery.

Method 2: Using the Surface 3 keyboard cover, first hold down the win key (the key on the keyboard with the Microsoft logo, not the power button on the tablet), and press the PRTSCN screen key. Effect and Method 1 the same, the screen darkened one second after the screenshot is saved in the Photo Gallery screenshots Screenshots folder. This method also applies to PCs.

Method 3: The same as the PC, directly press the PRTSCN on the keyboard lid, the screenshot will be saved on the Clipboard. The screen will not be dark, screenshots will not be automatically saved to the picture library, users need to manually paste the screenshot into the drawing or Photoshop applications in order to be edited and saved.

Method 4: Also use the keyboard cover, hold down the ALT key, and press PRTSCN. Instead of intercepting Full-screen, this method intercepts the current active window screen. Similarly, using this method will not make the screen dim, and will not automatically save screenshots, only temporarily saved to the Clipboard, users need to manually paste to paint and other programs to edit and save. This method also applies to PCs.

Method 5: Use the surface stylus, press the top button continuously, and then use the pen to select the area of the screen you want to intercept (drag out a square area). Once the tip of the pen leaves the screen, the selected area will appear in a new OneNote page that the user can edit and save.

Method 6: Like the PC, in the Surface 3 desktop mode, open the Windows 8.1/windows10 Screenshot tool, click the "New" button to the right of the down arrow, select the screenshot you want, such as full-screen, window, arbitrary format.

As you can see, many of the methods we use in our PCs are very special, with the Surface 3 power button and the stylus in two ways, of course, there is no difference between these two ways and the surface Pro 3 operation. and using a stylus screenshot to combine directly with OneNote, which is handy for "regular" OneNote using Surface 3/surface Pro 3
