I found this method easiest and pretty useful regarding taking screenshots on Windows 10. Of course, you can use the same shortcut key to take screenshots in the previous version of the Windows.

After clicking the screenshot, the picture gets automatically saved on your computer, and you can find it on C:\Users\Thomas\Pictures\Screenshots.
Ctrl + PrtScn
With this shortcut method, you can copy any active window or screen of your computer. Of course with this method, you can’t directly save the screenshots like the method 1. But you can paste the copied screenshot on built-in tools like Paint and do some editing also. Just press Windows + PtrScn key on any active window and open the paint tool and paste it by pressing Ctrl + V.
Alt + PrtScn
Well, Alt+PrtScn method is same as the method #2. You need to follow the same process, same work and then save it to any Windows folder you want. While editing the picture, you can add text, erase areas, crop the image, do the paint job and much more.
Snipping Tool
Snipping Tool comes with Windows 10/8/7 as a pre-installed program, and with it, you can capture any screen of your computer. There are also various options available to capture the screen; you can select any area of the Window to obtain or choose the full-screen mode and more. You can also set a delay in capturing a screenshot, and you get to do basic edit automatically after capturing the screen and before saving it.
Windows + Alt + G
If you want to capture a screenshot while playing a game, you can do this by following any of the method mentioned above except this one.
