Windows 11 has a cool, useful feature that you may not know about.
The Microsoft software has a new tool that will allow users to link their PC clipboard to their Android phone. In other words, you can have something copied on your computer and immediately access it on your phone. This could prove super useful for sending links, images, big blocks of text, or whatever else you might discover on your PC.

The feature works from the Link to Windows app, Tech Radar noted, which means you'll have to have that installed to turn on the feature in Windows 11 settings. Windows Latest spotted the feature in a preview build, writing "the sync was instantaneous" and that it worked across different keyboard apps. Users just need to be logged in to the same Microsoft account on their PC and phone, while also allowing access to the keyboard via settings in their cellphone. Then presto, the clipboard should be right there on your phone.

The feature is only in test builds right now, but it would make sense if it eventually made its way to all users.
Windows 11, meanwhile, has been in the news recently for less than ideal reasons. Microsoft had to issue a statement denying that a recent security update was causing SSD failures. The denial came after internet rumors that the update was to blame.
