Capturing screenshots is the simplest way to preserve moments while using your laptop or PC. If you're on Windows 8, there are three methods to capture screenshots. These Windows 8 screenshot techniques will undoubtedly assist you in capturing Age of Empires gameplay if you're using this Windows version.
We've also crafted detailed articles guiding beginners on how to capture computer screen shots without using any software. The trick to capturing screenshots without software allows you to snap images in just a few minutes. Check it out now for the quickest way to capture screenshots on your Dell computer.
If you need a quick solution right now, take a look at our following guide.
Step 1: Open the computer screen you want to capture, maybe within the Age of Empires game. Then, on your computer keyboard, press the Print Screen button. Note that this method applies to external keyboards connected to Dell laptops, so there will be a clearly marked Print Screen SysRq key.
On Dell laptop keyboards, depending on your model, you might find the PrtSc key hidden along with other function keys. For example, in the image, it's paired with the Home key as Home and PrtSc. If users press it alone, the computer will only register the Home function, meaning it will automatically go back to the first page when browsing the web or typing. But if you press the Fn + PrtSc key combination (the Home combined key), you'll activate the PrtSc function, allowing you to capture the Dell laptop screen.
Step 2: Next, press Start > Paint to select the default Paint application on your computer. Opening Paint is done in the same way on different operating systems.
Step 3: Press the Ctrl + V key combination on the Paint screen. The computer screen capture when you press Print Screen will appear.
You can press Ctrl + S to save this image immediately. Wishing you successful screen capturing on your Dell laptop while playing Age of Empires. Additionally, if you are using laptop brands other than Dell, such as Asus, you should also refer to how to capture Asus laptop screen.
