Hey I just got this laptop and I'm trying to take screenshots of this game I'm playing (Killing Floor). But to take a screen shot I have to push Fn + PrtSc and it's hard to do when I'm trying to take a quick screen shot of something cool. Is there any easy ways to do it?

You shouldnt have to press the fn key. when you have a pic you want to take, just press the PrtSc key. Open MS Paint, right click and press Paste

I tried pushing just the PrtSc but it didn't work. The key is actually the Ins key at the top of my keyboard, 3 spots away from F12. The Ins is in white on the key and underneath it
(but on the same key) is PrtSc in blue, which is the same color as the Fn key. So if I press it without pressing Fn, it's just the Ins key.

I can take screen shots, it's just inconvenient to take my hand off the mouse and press both the keys at once. By the time I do this, the moment I wanted to capture will be gone.

But I'll try out that free program that was suggested, thanks.
