Please post an answer so that a dummy like me can grasp it. How do you post a screen shot without having to go through photoshop etc?
I feel so silly asking, and thank you in advance for any help and answers you can give me and those who don't know either.

While you can use the "print screen" button, the Snipping Tool is a much better option. It has four modes, Free form (allows to trace around what you want to clip), rectangular (allows you to draw a box around what you want to clip, Window (allows you to click on a window and clip it in it's entirety) and full screen (takes a screen shot (the worst option, since you end with everything on your screen and not just what you want. Once you have the clip, you can copy it to your clipboard, save it as a file or send it in an email. You can also use the pen and highlighting tools to mark up the image.

Thank you all so much. I'll try it out the suggestions first thing tomorrow.
 
Is there any way to recover windows 10 login password without reinstallation?

The MS Snipping Tool really is the easiest way to go, especially if all you want is a part of your screenshot. I keep the snipping tool on my taskbar for easy access...no searching for it required that way.

But if all you want is just a screenshot and you are using Win8 or better, just press <Win><prtscn>. This saves the screenshot in your <pictures><screenshot> folder.

Snipping tool.

It wants to save as a .Png file, but can be converted to any format pretty easily.

There are ways. I'm reluctant to talk about them or make suggestions because I don't know your motivation. For all I know you might be considering breaking into another person's computer. I want no part in that kind of thing.

The most I'll do is suggest you do an internet search.
