Data is usually stored on the computer's internal hard drive, or on an external hard drive or flash drive, etc. It is not stored on the Random Access Memory (RAM) which is volatile, and any data would be lost when the computer is switched off.

What are differences between a bus and a register that are present in the CPU?

Well, honey, a bus is like the highway in the CPU where data travels back and forth, while a register is like a tiny parking spot where the CPU temporarily stores important information. They both help with data transfer, but one is like a big ol' freeway and the other is a little parking spot. Just remember, one moves data around, and the other holds onto it for a bit.
