Are some of the needy tools from your Vista or 7 machine missing, then here is a trick to bring them back to working. This is called Windows Features – Turn Windows features on or off. Re-enabling Snipping tool – the great screenshot taking tool of Windows – can be done in Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 and Vista machines.
To turn a feature off in earlier versions of Windows, you had to uninstall it completely from your computer. In this version of Windows, the features remain stored on your hard disk so you can turn them back on if you want to. Turning off a feature does not uninstall the feature, and it does not reduce the amount of hard disk space used by Windows features.
First, open your Start Menu and type in programs and features.
Then choose “Turn Windows Features on or Off” from the side Menu.
