Clipboard
When a text or graphic is cut or copied, it is stored in the clipboard, a temporary storage area in the computer's memory. It remains in the clipboard until it is pasted into a new location.
RAM (Random Accessed Memory) is "temporary" storage. It is temporary because the type we use in desktops PC's is called, volatile. This means, when power is lost, so is all data stored in memory.
Copied items in Windows are stored in the Clipboard, which is a temporary storage area in the computer's memory. Items copied to the Clipboard can then be pasted into another location, such as a different document or program.

A byte's temporary storage location in memory is RAM. The process of translating instructions into signals the computer can execute is a tower.

Computers write information /data onto some kind of memory device of the which there is a great variety. There are devices for temporary storage and long-term storage.
Temporary storage is usually referring to RAM -- Random Access Memory. Data stored in RAM only exists while the computer has power (nothing is saved).
Programmers often think of a computer as having only one temporary storage area, the random access memory (RAM). People using a computer often use a temporary storage location called the "clipboard". See "The what is a temporary holding area in your PC's memory that holds information you want to cut or move from its current location?" for details. The people who write operating systems and the computer architects that design computer systems and CPUs often use many different temporary storage areas, each one with a different name. Many of these temporary storage areas are stored in chips of silicon -- see the "What is temporary storage on chips called?" for details. Other temporary storage areas are stored on the hard drive -- such as the web page cache, the hibernation file, and the virtual memory swap file.
Permanent storage on a hard drive Temporary storage on ram memory.
All data must be copied into the computer's main memory, specifically RAM (Random Access Memory), before it can be read by the CPU. The CPU accesses data from RAM because it provides fast, temporary storage that allows for quick retrieval and processing of information during computational tasks. This process involves transferring data from secondary storage (like hard drives or SSDs) into RAM, enabling the CPU to perform operations efficiently.
Primary Device for storing information on the computer would be a hard drive. Temporary Storage would be RAM (Random Access Memory)
