    Retired in 2015 after working in the tech industry for 41 years. First 10 years as a Technician, the rest as a programmer/software engineer. After 1 year of retirement, I was bored so went back to work as a Robotic Process Automation Consultant. Retired for 3rd (and final) time in 2019.
In my dell venue 8 pro you can press (physical button) windows button(top side) + volume lower button simultaneously to copy scrnsht to clipboard.

In Windows 8.1 don't remember it exactly, -> swipe in charms bar -> share -> tap the menu in the top side for taking screen shot-> send it to an app like Mail.
