Most people, however, only paste the last thing that copied.

Well, not only you can also paste something you copied an hour or more ago, but if you are logged into the same Microsoft account, you can even paste it to another Windows 10 device.

How can I copy and paste data across devices?

  • Start Clipboard settings by typing clipboard settings in the Windows Search and clicking on it from the results.
  • Turn on Clipboard History and Sync across devices by clicking on the corresponding buttons. Below, you will see that by default, the clipboard is set to Automatically sync the text that I copy.
  • Now, to see the history of what you copied before, just press the Windows key + V. It’s easy to remember as the paste shortcut is Ctrl + C.
  • The beauty of all this is that now you can go to any other computer, log in to your Microsoft account, start the Clipboard History like you did in the previous steps and use the same items you copied on another device.

How can I clear all the items from the clipboard?

  • Press the Windows key + V
  • Click on any of the three horizontal dots and select Clear all.
  • In the same way, if you want to keep a copied item, you have to select Pin instead of Clear all.

Even if you will not use the clipboard on another WIndows 10 device, this feature is still extremely useful if you want to copy more items and pasting them later.
