How to Enable Copy-Paste in Command Prompt on Older Versions of Windows

Command Line Clipboard enables copy-paste in the Command Prompt on older Windows versions without requiring an OS upgrade. It also allows customizing hotkeys.

Many people prefer older versions of Windows, but they lack a small yet useful feature—copy and paste support in the Command Prompt. This functionality is missing in Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and Server 2003/R2/2008/R2.

Instead of upgrading your entire OS, you can simply install the free Command Line Clipboard utility. After installation, you can configure hotkeys for text selection, copying, and pasting in the settings.
