Hi, i am using a windows pc keyboard on my Mac. I am using windows keyboard is because my little sister broke my Mac keyboard by spilling Coca Cola on it. So, my question is : How do I screenshot my screen when using windows pc keyboard?? I am having a lot of problems because I need to screenshot for editing and homework projects, I tried doing *windows key+shift+4* But it just typed *4* in my searching bar.... I would be very happy if someone

can resolve this for me. Thanks!

Your best bet may be to replace the keyboard with an Apple keyboard. You can find them used (in great shape at www.macsales.com) and likely also on E-Gay too. You can attempt System Preferences - Keyboard and do keyboard shortcuts for the keys you need but I'm not sure that will do what you want.
