1) push print screen button
2) hunt down and open ms paint
3) find where they buried edit>paste in the new shitmenu format
4) paste
5) save
6) go back and reopen paint and repaste and resave because for some goddamn reason it did it as a jpg the first time
7) dig for wherever the hell "documents > photos > library of photos > paint photos" or wherever it put it is

and spend 10x longer editing it afterwards so it doesn't look like poo poo as compared to just taking proper screenshots of the steps you want in the first place

it generates the same screenshots as if you did it the mac way, it just does it automatically instead of having to press non-existent key combos .

the 'automatic' is the problem, you'll have a ton of full-sized screenshots to go through and edit if you want your guide to look legible - it's only 'automatic' if you don't care about how the end results look, in the end it really doesn't save you any time
