No. The CPU is NOT a storage device. It is where the computer does the "thinking" and actual data processing. In fact, the CPU IS the computer itself.
When you run a file it goes to a temporary location and can be deleted, but when you save it will be saved to your computer and it cant be deleted unless you do so.
In computer terminology, "running a program" means copying a sequence of instructions from storage into main memory and initiating the execution or interpretation of those instructions.

RAM is used for storing the start-up instructions on the computer. This serves as the memory of the computer which will retrieve such instructions.
Yes, that's true. RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of volatile memory that temporarily stores data and instructions that the CPU needs while a computer is running. Once the power is turned off or the system is restarted, the data in RAM is lost, unlike storage devices such as hard drives or SSDs, which retain data permanently.
The running configuration on a router or switch is stored in the device's RAM (Random Access Memory) while it is running. It's a temporary configuration that is lost when the device is powered off or restarted. To view the running configuration, you can use the "show running-config" command in the device's CLI (Command Line Interface).
A computer running Mac OS will be an Apple Macintosh computer.
The computer is running on the Windows operating system.
Set of instructions are called programs. All the programs given to computer are first stored in backing storage device like hard disk, magnetic disk, CDs, DVDs. When user wish to run these instructions, these are loaded in Computer Primary Memory i.e. RAM. Form RAM these instructions are read by processor and run.
Running a program is often referred to as "executing" the program. During execution, the computer processes the program's instructions, performing tasks as defined by the code. This involves loading the program into memory and utilizing the CPU to carry out its operations.
