There is no print screen button on macs but despite this the mac print screen function is in fact much more advanced than windows. Here are the three ways to do a print screen, or screen capture, in Mac OSX:

1. The simple “print screen button” capture:

• Press the Apple key ⌘ + Shift + 3 all at the same time
• You will find a capture of the screen on your desktop named ‘Picture _’

2. Capturing a selected portion of your screen:

• Press the Apple key ⌘ + Shift + 4 all at the same time
• You will see the cursor change to +
• Drag a box around the section you want to copy and release the mouse
• You will find a capture of the screen on your desktop again entitled ‘Picture _’

3 . Capturing from a selected application window:

• Press the Apple key ⌘ + Shift + 4 all at the same time
• You will see the cursor change to +
• Press the spacebar
• The cursor will change to a camera. Simply click on the window you want to be captured.
• Again the capture of the screen will be on your desktop labelled ‘Picture _’

How to Install Windows 8

Windows 8 is Microsoft's latest operating system which is completely redesigned. It moves away from the traditional interface to a completely new interface known as Metro User Interface. The familiar start menu is now gone. Icons and windows are replaced with live tiles and magazine styled interface. Unlike any previous versions, Windows 8 and its variation RT works across multiple architectures and has been optimized for touch screen. So it will work on Intel based PCs or an ARM based tablet.
This step-by-step guide demonstrates how to install Microsoft Windows 8 Professional. You can follow this guide if you have Windows 8 basic edition or any other version as the steps are very similar.
The best way to install Windows 8 is to do a clean install. Before you start the installation process I recommend that you check Windows 8 System Requirements to ensure that your hardware is supported by Windows 8. If you don't have Windows 8 drivers for all your hardware, it is a good idea to download all the drivers from the hardware manufacturers web site and save all the necessary drivers on a CD/DVD or a USB drive before you start the installation.
Windows 8 Professional DVD is bootable. In order to boot from the DVD you need to set the boot sequence. Look for the boot sequence under your BIOS setup and make sure that the first boot device is set to CD-ROM/DVD-ROM.
Step 1 - Place Windows 8 DVD in your dvd-rom drive and start your PC. Windows 8 will start to boot up and you will get the following screen with a rotating progress bar.
