Hi! I have two feature classes and I need to copy (transfer) all the features from one feature class to another. The amount of feaurtes is >8000. What is the best way to transfer all the features, as the copy and paste option on Clipboard does not allow to copy huge amount of features at once.

@LIEPAJABUILDINGBOARD, copy-paste (special) ideally should work. However, the best approach I can think is Append. You can use Append geoprocessing tool.
https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/append.htm

Steps:
In ArcGIS Pro, click "Analysis" in the ribbon >>  Tools
Geoprocessing window will popup. Search "Append"
Open Append (Data Management)

In the tool:

Input Dataset:The input datasets containing the data to be appended to the target dataset. 
Target Dataset: The existing dataset where the data of the input datasets will be appended.
< If schema of your input and output dataset matches>
Field Matching Type: Input fields must match target fields
Otherwise, choose field mapping option.

Rest all, parameters are optional & depends on your requirement. 

Hope this helps! Thank you 🙂
