Most of the configuration information (but not all) is stored in the Windows Registry.
There is no "registry" on a motherboard. The Windows Registry is stored on the hard drive.
In Windows 95, information regarding the configuration of hardware and software is stored in the Windows Registry. The Registry is a hierarchical database that contains settings and options for the operating system, including device drivers, user preferences, and system configurations. It plays a crucial role in managing the system's resources and ensuring the proper functioning of installed applications.
Registry
In the latest Windows version, the system configuration information is primarily stored in the Windows Registry, which consists of several files, including SYSTEM, SOFTWARE, SAM, SECURITY, and DEFAULT. These files are located in the Windows\System32\Config directory and hold settings for hardware, software, and user preferences. Additionally, configuration data may also be found in various XML files and the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store, which manages boot settings.

Windows XP registry hives are the main sections of the Windows registry that store configuration settings and options for the operating system and installed applications. Key hives include HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (system-wide settings), HKEY_CURRENT_USER (user-specific settings), HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (file associations and COM object registrations), and HKEY_USERS (all user profiles). These hives are stored in files on the disk and are loaded into memory during system startup, allowing the operating system to access necessary configuration information.
Windows registry files are primarily located in the system directory, specifically in the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder. Key files include SYSTEM, SOFTWARE, SAM, SECURITY, and DEFAULT. Additionally, user-specific registry settings are stored in files located in the user profile directory, typically found at C:\Users\<Username>\NTUSER.DAT.

When a user makes changes to the settings of a Windows system, these changes are typically stored in the Windows Registry, a hierarchical database that contains configuration settings for the operating system and installed applications. Additionally, user-specific settings may be stored in individual user profiles located in the "C:\Users[Username]" directory. Some settings may also be saved in configuration files associated with specific applications.
It is stored in memory until windows shuts down. The logical location (on the Hard Drive) is system32/config
