怎样 (zěnyàng) and 怎么样 (zěnme yàng) are interchangeable in most contexts. 怎样 (zěnyàng) is a more formal and general way of asking "how" or "in what way." 怎么样 (zěnme yàng) is a more colloquial and casual way of asking "how" or "in what way."

Examples:

他们想知道怎样正确使用这个软件。(Tāmen xiǎng zhīdào zěnyàng zhèngquè shǐyòng zhège ruǎnjiàn.) - They want to know how to properly use this software.
你今天过得怎么样?(Nǐ jīntiān guò dé zěnme yàng?) - How was your day today?
