How do I copy one image, then paste it into another, larger, image?

It's that simple. I have used PS for many uyears, but I stopped for a bit, around 2020, then resumed in 2023. And now I find that many of my old shortcuts, such as Command-C for "Copy ", and Command-V for "paste", don't work. I can't tell what I'm doing wrong. Frankly, I can't tell what I'm doing at all in PS 2024. This is pretty basic stuff, and I can't do it anymore. Should I switch to Affinity? Any and all help will be appreciated. I'm on an M1 Mac Mini runing Sequoia 15.0.1.

Do you have a selection before copy?

I think so, but I could have missed that. Continue, please.

Note-I just tried it, using the files I had been trying with previously (and unsuccessfully), selected the smaller image, after reducing it to simply an image, hit Command-C, switched to the larger image (blank page) and typed Command-V. Nothing happened. Nada.
