Fastest way to screen-shot part of screen in Windows 10

The fastest way I do this is by using a small tool named Fastone Screen Capture. It's a freeware and very easy to use. I used two or three such programs and it seems the fastest to me.

• The download page.
  
• A simple tutorial of how to use it.
  

 

Fastest way to screen-shot part of screen in Windows 10

I have Windows 10 Pro. I'm a science teacher and a frequent user of the in-built snipping tool in Windows 10 Pro. I often create screen-shots of small parts of my screen to make "how-to" documents for my students. The "current-window-screen-shot" feature includes too much information. I'm only interested in the tiny portions of GeoGebra-calculations.

Currently I do as follows:

1. Windows button + S
   
2. Type snipping tool then press Enter. The application opens (or use your own custom hotkey-combination to open this app)
   
3. Choose New then select portion of the screen
   
4. Press Ctrl+C
   
5. Open a Word document
   
6. Press Ctrl+V
   

Since everything is done from the keyboard this procedure is pretty fast. But in OS-X it's only a 3-step procedure:

1. Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+4 then select portion of the screen
   
2. Open Word document
   
3. Cmd+V
   

Without buying a Mac (we only have PCs at work), what is the fastest possible way to take a screen shot of select a portion of the screen?
