Just wondering if there is a risk of it being recoverable after the transaction has been completed. I figured it would be stored in RAM and thus unrecoverable after powering down, but I can’t seem to find anything on that.

Okay thanks, that makes sense. I’m not highly technical so I’m just trying to run through every potential risk. That was the last thing bugging me.
Full-disk encryption with something like veracrypt can help mitigate any concerns about this. So long as an attacker does not have access to your computer while powered on (cold boot attacks/evil maid attacks etc), you are fine. For example, if a burglar absconds with your laptop encrypted w veracrypt and it’s powered off? They’re never getting the bitcoin wallet or anything else you had stored on there.
Thanks for the tip, I’ll look into that
