    Can't save a snip as a file in Windows 11 like I could so easily in Windows 10....


    I can't work out how to save a snip in Windows 11. Instructions and previous questions I've read don't help. As I did before, I type snipping tool in bottom left 'search' field, select *snipping tool*, then *new snip*, then drag to capture snip. Snip shows on screen but no option to "save as". Worked perfectly and easily in Windows 10; can't use it in Windows 11. Instructions say "snip is automatically copied to clip board" but that doesn't help. Old version on my Windows 10 lap top had menu options at top of snip screen that allowed you to 'save as' a file. That's what I need to do. Please

    :)

    Windows 10 Snipping Tool on Windows 7

    All it is is one extra step beyond what is native to windows 10. Yes, technically it would be easier to have the functionality of print built in to the Windows 7 version, but you just have to save it ,and right click on it ,and print.

    As far as getting the windows 10 version into windows7. I know there was a way to get the old winpaint, so maybe there's a way to get the snipping tool into 10, I don't know.

    im curious if i could compress, and upload the application to this post? 7zip doesnt seem to be allowed

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
