Record Screen on Windows 10 for Free without Watermark
From using third-party software to trying out the hidden screen recording feature, here are some easy and free-to-use ways to record the screen on any Windows 10 computer.
Method 1- Windows 10’s In-Built Game Bar
The pre-installed Xbox Game Bar was meant to record game clips. However, it can also be used to screen record other things on your screen. You can re-install the Xbox and Xbox Game Bar app from Microsoft Store if removed in the past. Before we start, note that not all Windows 10 machines can screen record with Game Bar. It works only if your laptop’s video card supports one of the three encoders- Intel Quick Sync H.264, Nvidia NVENC, or AMD VCE.
Enable Game Bar in Settings
Turn On Screen Recording
The recorded files can be viewed by clicking ‘Show all captures.’ Note that the Game Bar doesn’t support screen recording for desktop and file explorer.
