• You can capture a screenshot on your Lenovo computer in several different ways. 
• If you have Windows 10, you can simply take a screenshot to be saved directly to your files, or you can take one and edit it before saving it.
• If you aren't running Windows 10, though, there are still ways to do both of those things, just with a few more steps.

The ability to screenshot your computer screen can be useful for a number of reasons. You can show somebody exactly what you're doing step-by-step, save a webpage for future reference, or screenshot frames of your favorite shows or movies.

Taking a screenshot works differently depending on the kind of computer you have, and the software that it's running. On Lenovo, there are a few different ways to do it: some that only work with Windows 10, and some that work with any version of Windows.

2. Open Paint, or a similar application, and use the Paste function to open the image in the program.

3. Use the tools in Paint to mark up the image if you desire, then click "File" and "Save" to save it to your files.
