How to sync clipboard across devices on Windows 10

The sync clipboard across devices feature will remain intact in the upcoming Windows 10. This clipboard experience started with the 1809 version which uses the cloud to copy and paste content from one device to another. It now includes a new interface i.e. Win + V which aids in copying and pasting anything that lies in history.

By default this attribute is not enabled, hence you have to enter the Clipboard Settings section to manually activate this option. Here, in this guide, we will discuss how to enable clipboard history syncing across multiple devices. Do note that each device you are using must be connected to the same Microsoft account otherwise, this won’t function. Let’s explore this in detail –
