A whole new Clipboard has also been a part of the Windows 10 Preview for some time. The new Clipboard will have cloud-based support and can be viewed through the shortcut keys Win + V and could be easily accessed across any type of PC with the help of this build of Windows or higher. The technology utilized to sync the new Clipboard will be the same one that was used for Timeline and Sets.

As for Search on Window 10, it will get previews along with the facility for the users to jump into, see progress on and be able to disambiguate between files by looking for more information. Search Previews will also show up quick answers to trivial queries like “are bananas good for you?”. In the future, Microsoft has promised to deliver regular updates to Search Previews.
