Screenshot on an Acer Laptop With Print Screen
You can take a screenshot by pressing the Print Screen button on the laptop’s keyboard. It is usually found in the function row and may be abbreviated as PrtSc. Print Screen will save a screenshot to the Windows Clipboard. You can then paste it into apps or web pages with Ctrl+V.

If you only need a portion of the screen, use the Snipping Tool. Here’s how it works. Snipping Tool offers multiple screenshot modes that let you capture only a specific area, a specific window, or the entire screen. Screenshots are saved to the Windows Clipboard.

Where are Screenshots Saved on an Acer Laptop?
Using the Print Screen button or the Snipping Tool will save a screenshot to the Windows Clipboard. This doesn’t save the screenshot to a file, so you will need to paste the screenshot to an image editing app and save it. Microsoft OneDrive users can turn on a feature which will save a copy of screenshots taken with Print Screen to OneDrive. The screenshot is saved as a PNG file to OneDrive\Pictures\Screenshots. Windows+Print Screen will save a screenshot to ThisPC\Pictures\Screenshots as a PNG image file.
