How do I take a screen shot within any of the Windows 8 apps using Surface Pro?

Q

I'm able to use the snipping tool when in Windows 7 desktop view, but I'm unable to take snapshots of my screen when running Windows 8 apps. There is also no 'print screen' button on the Surface keyboard.

Follow the steps given here to take a screen shots from your Surface Pro.

You can take a screenshot of your “custom” Surface start screen (or any other screen for that

matter) just follow these two simple steps.

a) Touch and hold down on the Windows 8 logo on the Surface.

b) While doing that, press the volume down button once, then release.

The screen will dim for a brief second. This is your confirmation that screenshot was taken.You can find the screenshot in the Screenshots album in the Photos app. From there you can navigate to your screenshot.
