The Windows location that stores cut or copied information is called the Clipboard. It is a temporary storage area in the computer's RAM where data such as text, images, or files are held when you use cut or copy commands

Key details about the Windows Clipboard:

• The clipboard data is stored in memory (RAM), not as a permanent file on disk. This is why clipboard contents are lost when the computer is restarted or shut down, except for pinned items in Clipboard History

• Since Windows 10 update 1809, the clipboard supports Clipboard History , which can store up to 25 items and allows you to view and select previously copied items using the shortcut Windows + V

• The Clipboard History feature also includes a Pin function. Pinned items remain in the clipboard until you delete them individually, unlike normal clipboard history items which can be cleared all at once

• The clipboard is accessible via the shortcut Windows key + V after enabling Clipboard History in Settings under System > Clipboard

• The Office Clipboard is a related feature within Microsoft Office programs that stores multiple copied items for pasting within Office applications. It is separate from the Windows system clipboard but serves a similar purpose

Summary:

Clipboard History| Stores up to 25 clipboard items, accessible via Windows + V

In short, the Windows clipboard is the system location that holds cut or copied information temporarily in memory, with enhanced functionality via Clipboard History and pinning in Windows 10 and later

. The "Pinned" items in Clipboard History are not the same as the general history; pinned items persist until deleted individually, whereas history items can be cleared all at once
