What is the difference between volatile and non-volatile memory

What is the difference between volatile and non-volatile memory

• The contents of volatile memory can be lost but non-volatile memory can’t
• volatile memory can’t be upgraded to non-volatile memory
• non-volatile memory can’t be upgraded to volatile memory
• The contents of non-volatile memory can be lost but volatile memory can’t 

 

EXPLANATION

Non-volatile memory is typically used for the task of secondary storage, or long-term persistent storage.
The most widely used form of primary storage today is avolatile form of random access memory (RAM), meaning that when the computer is shut down, anything contained in RAM is lost.
