When you turn off the computer data stores where?
When your computer is shut down, the data is stored on your hard disc drive. RAM stores the operating system while the computer is running. Hard discs are non-volatile, so it will always be there. However RAM is volatile, and once you do not supply power to it, all memory is lost.

What is the different between volatile and non volatile?
Volatile memory is temporary memory that is lost when then computer is shut off (RAM). Non-volatile is permanent memory that that holds its data even when the computer is shut off (ROM, NVRAM). Volatile memory is memory that disappears after you turn off your computer RAM is a big example of that because all the memory on RAM disappears after you turn off your computer. Non-Volatile memory is memory that even if you turn off your computer it will still be there. A huge example of that is hard drive memory. volatile= disappears after the computer is turned off Non-Volatile= never disappears.
