The keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste a file in Windows are:
- Copy: Ctrl + C
- Paste: Ctrl + V
To use these shortcuts, first select the file(s) you want to copy by clicking on them in File Explorer. Then press Ctrl + C to copy the file(s). Navigate to the destination folder where you want to paste the file(s), and press Ctrl + V to paste them there
. Additionally, if you want to move (cut and paste) a file instead of copying it, you can use:
- Cut: Ctrl + X
- Paste: Ctrl + V
This will remove the file from its original location and paste it into the new location
. These shortcuts are universal across most Windows applications and work consistently for files, folders, text, and images
