    Even though the new Windows 11 has introduced new functions to its users, many things have not changed at all between Windows 11 and its predecessors. For example, the clipboard has been an integral part of any Windows computer ever since it was added. Whatever you copy or cut on your Win 11 PC, it gets saved to the clipboard. It also saves the screenshots that you take on your PC. To copy something to the clipboard, you use the copy shortcut keys – ‘Ctrl + C’, and to paste the copied content, you press – ‘Ctrl + V’. But can you directly get to the clipboard on your computer? In this guide, we will show you how to enable and use the clipboard on your Windows 11 PC.

    • Copy/Paste/Cut Swiftly: Once you enable the clipboard on your computer, you can use it to quickly copy, paste and cut items whenever needed.
