If you have recently bought a Surface Pro and you don’t know how to take a screenshot on it, here is the guide for you. You can take screenshots of the Desktop in Surface Pro or almost any other Surface device with the help of this simple and easy-to-use steps.
While you can always use Snipping Tool or install some third-party free screen capture software on Surface Pro, if you use a keyboard and you need to take out a screenshot of your Surface desktop natively, it is very easy for you.
Take screenshots of Surface Desktop
To take screenshots of Surface Desktop, do the following:
First, make sure that you are on the screen that you want to capture. Then, press the Fn + Windows + Space key.
Do this, and you will find that the screen may dim a bit for a second or two, and then the screenshot of your desktop will be taken and saved in your Pictures\Screenshots User folder.
There is a second way to capture screenshots on Surface Pro. You can also double-click the top button on your Surface Pen, select the area you want to capture and lift the pen when this is done. The image gets captured to OneNote.
For your information, there is yet another way! Hold down the Windows flag button on your Surface device and then press the Volume Down button which is present on the side of the Surface device. The screen will momentarily darken, and your screenshot will be taken.
How do I take a screenshot of my desktop page?
Taking a screenshot of your desktop page is not that different on Surface Pro devices than on a regular Windows 11/10 computer. You need to press the Fn+Windows+Space keys together to capture a screenshot on Surface Pro. On the other hand, if you want to do the same on a Windows 11/10 computer, you can simply press Print Screen and paste the screenshot into any image editing tool. For your information, the same method is also available on Surface devices.
Where is the PrtScn key on Surface Pro?
The PrtScn or the Print Screen button is available on the Surface Pro device’s keyboard. You can find it in the top row of your keyboard. The same can be found in the on-screen keyboard as well. You can use it to capture screenshots without any problem.
