When you learn to cut, copy and paste text or pictures you will be able to move a text or picture from one place to another. You will also be able to copy pictures and text from the internet to save on your computer. There are so many benefits to learning how to cut copy and paste. Watch this video tutorial to see for yourself.
The first question that everyone asks is what is the difference between Cut and Copy?
1. Cut is when you remove the file, text, or graphic from its position and paste it in another location.This means that you have removed the file, text, image form the original location and you must paste it somewhere. I do not recommend a person new to computers using the CUT feature. To copy something is a much safer option.
2. Copy is when you copy the file, text, or image, and then place a copy of it in another location. This means that the original still exists.
The next question is if I do not paste the file,text, or image, will it be lost?
If you copy a file and then forget to paste it down somewhere, and then copy a new file, you will be carrying the new file and the old file copy will be gone. If you have just copied a file though, the original will still be in the original location.
If you cut a file and forget to paste it down, depending on what version of Windows you are using, your file will be returned to the original location or you will get a warning message. If you are on the older versions of Windows your file could possibly be lost. These things happen and this is why it is best to copy and not cut until you are experienced enough to know whats going on.

For windows it’s:
Cut = ctrl + x

Paste = ctrl + v
I really thought everybody would know what is the difference between cut and copy. I thought the name is self-explanatory. But just last week my housemate put some files on a hdd for me. He gave me the hdd and I open it. Then I ask him “Do you want me to cut or copy the files?” then he said “WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?”
which even made my Chinese gf look up and say “YOU DON’T KNOW?!?” she even knows in English. But my housemate a 25 year old guy who uses his laptop all day and makes music mixes on it and even uses it for his work as a dj, doesn’t even know such a basic thing…. shocking.
