What do I need to do to view my clipboard in Windows 10?

You just need to press Win+V. Since October 2018 Update a synced clipboard has been introduced along with a history viewer

You can also manage the clipboard directly with PowerShell. Windows 10 has built-in PowerShell 5.0 so you can run Get-Clipboard and Set-Clipboard from it

Get-Clipboard -Format Text -TextFormatType Html
Get-Clipboard -Format FileDropList
(Get-Clipboard -Format FileDropList)[0].GetType()

Alternatively you can use this script which is a GUI written in PowerShell to show the clipboard
