Printscreen on a MacBook Keyboard from Windows

In the following simple solution, I cover how to "Print Screen" (take a screenshot) while running from Windows on a MacBook. Since a Mac does not have a physical PrintScreen (PrtScn) key on its keyboard, another BootCamp mapped key or key combination must be used in place of the familiar Print Screen button.

How to PrintScreen on a MacBook Keyboard

To take a screenshot from Windows using a MacBook keyboard:

If your Function Key controls the hardware, add the Fn function key:
