Programs are copied into the CPU for it to read through a process called loading. Loading involves transferring the program's instructions from storage, such as a hard drive or memory, into the CPU's memory for execution. This allows the CPU to access and execute the program's instructions in the correct sequence.

Yes, the programs have been successfully copied into the system.
CPU stands for central processing unit. As the name implies, the CPU processes everything the computer does and handles everything that goes on in a computer. The CPU is often referred to as the brain of the computer since everything goes through the CPU first. The purpose of the CPU is to read machine language and do what it is told by it. The machine code are the directions on what the CPU should do, but the CPU is needed in order to read this code.
If your CPU usage is at 80%, you are probably trying to run too many programs at once. Try closing some programs, especially any that are processor-intensive (games, photo/video processing, etc).
Data and programs currently being used by the CPU are in RAM, or random access memory. Parts of them may also be in the cache memory, which is a faster, specialized version of RAM. RAM is a temporary area for storing running programs. It is usually lost when you turn off the computer.
