It's as easy as two button presses.
The thin, light, and compact nature of Surface Pro devices like the Surface Pro X makes them some of the best Microsoft Surface PCs for mobile use, and since they're convertible, they can be used as tablets. To make the Surface Pro's tablet experience as smooth as possible, Microsoft has traditionally included several tablet-style features with them over the years. One of these is a screenshot shortcut that allows you to save an image of what's on your screen.
In this guide, we'll show you how to use the Surface Pro's built-in screenshot functionality.
How to take a screenshot on Surface Pro devices
To take a screenshot on a newer Surface Pro, such as a Surface Pro 7, 8, or X, follow these steps:
- Place a finger over the Power button and Volume Up button.
- Press both buttons down at the same time.
The process is just as simple on older Surface devices like the Surface Pro 3 that have a Windows logo next to the display, though the shortcut itself is different. Here's how to take a screenshot on older Surface Pro devices:
- Place a finger over the Windows logo and the Volume Down button.
- Press both buttons down at the same time.
In both cases, the screen will dim briefly to indicate that your screenshot has been saved.
How to view screenshots on Surface Pro

- In the Windows search bar, type This PC.

All of your saved screenshots are automatically sent to this folder, and can be accessed at any time.
