man there's a button of the same size as the other buttons on your keyboard that is called "Print Screen". sometimes(like on my keyboard) it even has written "Sys Rq" while you're reading this, I want u to press it, then go to any image editing software (quickest-ms paint) and press either ctrl+v or paste from the edit menu and you'll be amazed!
