The Windows location that stores cut or copied information is called the Clipboard. The clipboard is a temporary storage area in the computer's memory (RAM) where data that you cut or copy is held until you paste it elsewhere

Key details about the Windows Clipboard:

• The clipboard contents are primarily stored in RAM, not as a file on disk, so they are volatile and lost on reboot unless pinned

• Since Windows 10 update 1809, clipboard history can store up to 25 items, including text, images, and files, which you can view using the shortcut Windows key + V

• Pinned clipboard items are stored persistently in a folder on disk at:

  C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Clipboard\Pinned\
  

allowing them to survive reboots

• The clipboard history feature allows managing multiple clipboard entries, unlike the traditional clipboard which only holds one item at a time

In summary, the clipboard is the Windows location for storing cut or copied data, primarily held in RAM, with a persistent pinned items folder under the user's AppData path. You can access clipboard history using Windows + V to see recent clipboard contents.
