2) Open up 'Paint' bye going to Start on your bottom left corner, and finding it.

3) Either right click and hit 'Paste' or hit CTRL V.

4) On the top left corner, there is a box that is made from a bunch of lines. This gives you the option to select the area of the picture you want to save. Here is a picture to help you. The box in the top right corner is the box you want to click.

a way to do this without as much editing is by holding ctrl alt and printscreen, then pasting it into a form of paint. this way you dont ahve to edit your picture as much.
hope this helps :)
