F12 key. (If you only want to copy your internet browser window, press
ALT + PRINT SCREEN. Make sure you are looking at your browser when you do this.)

This will open up MS paint. Now all you have to do is paste the image onto the program. You can do this either by pressing
CTRL + V or by going to the
Edit menu at the top and selecting
Paste.
