If you want a random area of the screen snipping tool is the easiest built-in way.
If you want the entire desktop(s) just printscreen will do it.
If you want to capture just an application window, click the application so it has focus, hold alt and press print screen

I use Lightshot and it is fast. After installation, just press the "PrintScreen" key to take a screenshot. You can screenshot part of the screen too.
