No print screen button drama

Hello, I've finally switched after years of using HP, Asus etc. laptops to MacBook Air 2020. There is only one big disappointment: no "print screen" button. I used to be able to make a screenshot, which instantly saved itself in bmp. file, and, most important- in OneDrive. Is there a substitute of this quick operation, so that I don't have to create each time a new file? Btw. I have Windows 10 installed... (maybe in iOS there is something better? ) Thanks in advance

Windows, Windows 10

In MacOS, press Command-Shift-3 to take a screenshot of the full screen (saved to your desktop by default). That replicates the Print Screen function. MacOS goes further – you can press Command-Shift-4 and use the mouse to select just a specific area of the screen, or if you press the space bar then the mouse key you get a capture of just the active window. Like PrntScrn on steroids.
