Briefly describe the structure of the Windows 10 registry.

What will be an ideal response?

The registry is divided into sections and levels of data. Multiple sections exist to organize data by purpose. The individual sections are called hives. Each hive has a specific role to play and is stored in memory while it is in use. When the computer is shut down, the memory versions of the hives are written to files and folders typically found in the folder C:\Windows\System32\config. Each hive is composed of one or more files.
Within a single hive the data is stored in keys and values identified by their name and position relative to each other.
