With Windows 7 I could do the following:

Press "PrtScn"
Go to MS Paint, click Paste.
A screen grab of my entire desktop would appear in Paint where I could crop it etc.

With Windows 8 I do the following:

Press "PrtScn"
Go to MS Paint, click Paste.
Nothing. No dump of my screen, no anything happens.

How can I take a screen dump under Windows 8 so I get the same functionality as detailed above?

Fine here. You must have some software installed that is hooking or overriding that system key, somehow.
 
Windows key + Print Screen

That does everything without having to use paint (when you do it the first time, a folder called screenshots will be created in the pictures folder).
