That is what I do. But for some reason that I had not noticed they turned auto back on and I did not find out till I got the dreaded message "Downloading and installing updates Don't turn your machine off"

There were 57000 odd changes to make. The first 1000 took about 10 mins and I was about to disconnect the power as the projected time was longer than reformatting and installing Win-7 but the update went faster from there and completed in about 20 mins.
