In order to find images captured using Windows Key + Print Screen, navigate to your Pictures folder and look for the Screenshots subfolder. You'll also get some visual feedback indicating it's been captured, as the screen will briefly dim. If you want to skip the copying and pasting, you're in luck: Pressing Windows Key + Print Screen will capture the entire screen and automatically save it as an image. In order to create the image you captured with Print Screen you'll have to open Word, Paint, or some other program where you can paste an image file and then save it with the name and extension of your choice.

Instead of actually taking a picture, Print Screen copies the contents of your entire screen to the clipboard, much like you highlighted some text and pressed Ctrl + C. Pressing Print Screen doesn't do anything obvious, so you'd be understandably confused if you were hoping a small thumbnail would appear in the lower right of the screen, ala macOS, indicating an image has been captured. The simplest, and most obvious way to take a screenshot in Windows 10 is probably the button that everyone has on their keyboard: Print Screen, which may also be labeled PrtScrn, PrSc, or some similarly abbreviated name.
