Microsoft bad and all, but is this really a good fit for the pics community?

I mean... it is a picture... of a screen. I guess it counts?

Isn't a screenshot also a picture? It can literally be the same file extension too.

Why didn't OP just take a screenshot? Why go through the effort of taking a photo with their phone to then transfer it to a PC?

can you even take a screenshot before the login screen?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

It's not a screenshot. It's a photo of the screen.

Yeah, no shit. They were asking if the reason it's a photo of the screen might be that you can't take a screenshot of the login screen (which I have no idea the answer to)

Well you being a dick about it certainly helped clarify it. Thanks

Good point. If this community wasn't for screenshots, it would be called "photographs". All images, even memes, should be allowed here.
