Found the answer to getting copy/paste working in Windows 10 KVM here:
http://blogs.nologin.es/rickyepoderi/index.php?/archives/87-Copy-n-Paste-in-KVM.html
Solution was to run installer in this ISO (do not have url, sorry, I think Google can find it)
virtio-win-0.1.126.iso
Download latest spice tools from here: https://www.spice-space.org/download/binaries/spice-guest-tools/ and install it.
Reboot Windows 10 just in case.
Then follow directions from first URL in this Gist. You must create a SINGLE Channel Device with target name: com.redhat.spice.0, Target type: virtio and Device type: spicevmc. It took a few minutes/seconds to get the copy/paste working. Make sure you create the Channel Device AFTER the spice iso and tools are installed and the KVM is powered off.
