I have a Mac that is running Windows 7 through Bootcamp. I am using an external Mac keyboard and I want to take a screenshot but I have not had any success. I tried to Google the soltuion, but all the answers that I found said to press Alt+F13.
So, what is the solution?
If at all possbile, I don't want to resort to installing additional programs.
Create a keyboard shortcut with the built-in snipping tool.
Start > Accessories > Snipping Tool > Properties > Shortcut
Click in the Shortcut key text box and enter your desired key combination.
Windows 7 has a built in screenshot software, its called Snipping Tool.
It can be found on the All Programs > Accessories menu
Screengrab means to capture any moment you want on your screen. Snipping Tool is not well designed for that purpose. Always be prepared for an alternative when using Microsoft made applications.
Fn + Shift + F11 for fullscreen
Fn + Option (Alt) + F11 for active window
above hotkeys indeed solve the problem, thanks to Sergiy
Go to the Boot Camp Control Panel, select the Keyboard tab and uncheck the option for "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys".
Then the following hotkeys will work:
Fn + Shift + F11 for fullscreen
Fn + Option (Alt) + F11 for active window
GreenShot is a program (similar to SnagIt) where you're able to specify what keystroke to capture the image. You can also do selections as well as the whole screen.
