Now we can get down to business. I have ingenious computer tricks for you.

Web Browsing Has Become A Lot Easier

Here’s a fantastic hack you’ll utilize all the time if you’re on a computer. Hover your cursor over a URL and tap the mouse wheel. The link will open in a new tab.

You also can right-click and choose “Open hyperlink in new tab,” however why bother when this method is so straightforward?

  • Go to Start > Settings (gear icon) > System
  • Turn “Clipboard history” on by clicking Clipboard.
  • After you’ve enabled history, press Windows + V to get a list of the objects you’ve cloned. A window will appear, with the most current item at the top. You can duplicate any of them again by clicking on them.
  • Do you want to clear all Clipboard history? To access your Clipboard options, follow the steps above and select Clear under “Delete clipboard information.”

Tap on the three dots next to an object in the Clipboard record pop-up to remove or pin it.
