Do I have to turn off computer over night ?
I have a Dell lap top and have been turning it off every night. Is this necessary. It takes a long time to boot up in the morning. I have win 8.1

Dunno what computer you have, but on all three of mine the HD is spinning if the computer is powered up.
I use an automatic "hibernate" after 30 mins of inactivity.
THEN the HD stops.
I also allow Microsoft to install updates automatically.
I get the occasional message that my computer was restarted to allow updates to complete.
