How to take screenshot on the log off mode,

I’m wondering if there is a way to take a screenshot on the screenshot mode (attached).

Thank you

Unfortunately no, you need a camera as you did here or have the OS running in a Virtual Machine (VM).

Lord Howe Island ? Now that looks like an interesting place to live ? Always warm ?

Many thanks Britton30 for the answer.

Could you please elaborate more regarding the VM machine and how it can be used to take such screenshots?

My interest also is to take screenshots while installing the windows itself!
Screenshots are much more powerful than words in describing IT issues! The images speak themselves!

Do a search for VMware Player. This software will allow you to install whatever OS you want inside of your current running OS. Once you have VMware player all set up and running a virtual machine, you can easily make screen shots with "Alt, Print Screen"

A VM act as a separate computer within another OS, the Host system. Another OS in installed to a VM like the ordinary PC. When a VM runs it looks like another window and one may use the w7 snipping tool to capture a screen shot.
