Using my old (Prev gen) Mac Keyboard on my windows machine. Is there a key i can use to grab a screenshot like the print screen key on a windows keyboard?

Nope, but you can press cmd-shift-3 to take a screenshot of the whole screen, or cmd-shift-4 to give you a crosshairs to take a screenshot of a selected part of the screen. Screenshots are saved on the desktop.

Edit: doh, just realised you are using a Mac keyboard, not Mac OS. My bad. I'm not sure what to do in that scenario, sorry

Surely its mapped the same way as a PC keyboard so it would be something like apple+F13

There is. Cmd+Shift+3 for full screen, Cmd+Shift+4 to select a portion of the screen.

He's using Windows, but with a Mac keyboard.

Your best bet might be a utility like this OP: http://www.screenshot-utility.com/
