Screen capture in Windows 8

To capture a screen shot on a Windows 8 machine do the following:

Windows Surface devices: Hold down the Windows key while pressing the volume-down button (both are the hardware buttons on the surface – sorry doing this on your keypad will not work). The screen captures get stored in the Photos app under “Screenshots”

Windows 8:

Press “Windows” key + “Print Screen” (PrntScr). The screen shot gets stored under “Screenshots” in your picture library.
