Most HP and Lenovo laptops run Windows – and the easiest way to record your screen is with the Xbox Game Bar, which is already built into your system.

💡 In fact, over 75% of laptops worldwide run Windows (including HP, Lenovo, Dell, Acer, and Microsoft Surface). That means the Xbox Game Bar is available by default on the vast majority of devices.

✅ Step-by-Step:

1. Press Windows + G to open the Game Bar.
2. Click the Record icon in the "Capture" window.
3. Want audio? Click the mic icon to enable voice recording.
4. When you're done, click Stop in the floating toolbar.

📝 Your recording is saved to:

Videos > Captures folder

⚠️ Limitations of Game Bar

While the Game Bar supports basic recording and audio:

• It doesn’t capture File Explorer or desktop-only views
• It lacks easy sharing tools
• And although you can enable your mic, it’s not always intuitive

This matters because over 80% of users prefer recording both screen and voice, especially for tutorials, feedback, or bug reports

(TechSmith User Insights, 2023).
