How do you take pics on an hp laptop?

If what you are asking is can you take a picture of you screen then the answer is yes. What needs to be done is use the print screen button (PrtSc) located in the top right corner on most keyboard setups. Then take it into Windows paint. All Microsoft come with this basic photo editor program you can find it ...... start menu/ all programs/ accessories/ paint. Once open just put the courser over the blank area of the story board right click and past or use (Ctrl+v) for the short cut. Save as file format of you choice. I would sagest JPG. or PNG giff is good also. Hope this helps....
