How to take screenshots of Acer laptops with key combinations

Using key combinations is the simplest way for you to take screenshots without opening other applications. Here are some key combinations you can use to take screenshots of Acer computers depending on different models.

Key combination Alt + Print Screen

This is a key combination that helps you quickly take screenshots of active windows on your Acer laptop. However, the disadvantage of this Alt + Print Screen key combination is that the captured image is only saved in temporary memory. That means, if the computer suddenly turns off and you don't have time to save, the image will be lost.

Therefore, when using this method of taking screenshots of Acer computers , you must use a photo editor such as Paint or Photoshop to paste the image, edit it, and then save it permanently in folders.

Key combination Alt + Ctrl + S

Using the key combination Alt + Ctrl + S is a commonly used way to take screenshots of Acer Win 7 computers . After pressing the above 3 keys simultaneously, you just need to hold down the Shift key and drag the mouse.

After taking a photo, the photo will be automatically saved in the Clipboard section . Or you can also choose the location to save images in other folders. If you want to copy the screenshot just now, press Ctrl + C.

Windows + Print Screen key combination

If you press the Alt + Print Screen key combination that TipsMake just instructed above but cannot take a screenshot, then most likely, your device model was installed with the Windows + Print Screen key combination to succeed. 

In case the icon on the PrintScreen key is accompanied by other words, pressing the above key combination will not work. Please press 3 keys Windows + Fn + PrtSc at the same time .

Key combination Windows + H

When working with Windows Share and you want to take a screenshot, use the Windows + H key combination . After pressing these two keys simultaneously on the laptop keyboard, you will see the full-screen image you just captured immediately and automatically saved.

You can share this newly captured screenshot on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest,.

How to take screenshots of Acer laptops with keyboard shortcuts

In addition to the key combinations we just shared above, there are still other ways to quickly take screenshots of Acer laptops without memorizing the key combinations. You just need to find and press the Print Screen (PrtScr) key to take a screenshot of the Acer screen.

This tool is integrated on the computer to help users perform faster and easier. However, for different models, Acer can change the way of writing with different characters such as Prnt Scrn , PrtScr , PrtSc ,.
