Did You Know Windows Can Save Everything You Copy?

Did You Know Windows Can Save Everything You Copy?

If you didn’t know Windows can save a list of the text and images you copy, I feel for you—you’ve missed out on a simple trick that could’ve saved you a lot of time. But don’t worry, it’s easy to set up, and I’ll show you how.

How to Turn On Clipboard History

A while back, Microsoft upgraded the clipboard so it’s way more useful than just holding one copied thing at a time. To start using this feature, just follow these steps:

  • Go to Settings
  • Click System
  • Select Clipboard
  • Turn on Clipboard history

Once it’s on, you can see everything you’ve copied by pressing Windows Key + V.

Why Clipboard History Is So Handy

Normally, when you copy something new, it replaces the last thing you copied. But with clipboard history, Windows saves everything you copy in a list. You can scroll through it and paste anything you’ve copied recently. Even better, if there’s something you use often, like an email address or a common reply, you can pin it so it stays there even after restarting your computer.

This simple trick can help you get work done faster. And if you ever need help with bigger IT stuff, give us a call at 708-781-7110.
