No. the weight remains the same. The only thing you've added is rearanged 'electrons' on the surface of a disk there is no weight change!

No it doesn't, unless by information you mean stickers.
Data is virtual, not physical; and therefore has no mass.
Your hard drive is a magnetic medium. The data is "stored" on the hard drive by using different polarities to represent 1's and 0's. Think of the old bar magnet from science class. Whether you held it so that the North end was facing up or down, it still weighed the same, right? It's exactly the same concept here.

The physical weight will never change if you add more information to your computer because it is a change of state of the bit in your hard disk with the electrical pulse.
If you were speaking of the speed of the computer then it will also not change if you are using two or three programs at a time, its speed will change when you are using more than 5 programs at a time (The speed depends on the RAM in your computer to make things short).

Information does not make weight. An unused computer cell weighs the same as a unused cell.

You need more sleep....
That would be like a phone weighing more cause you didn't delete the text messages.
