Installing updates Win 7

We don't use our laptop very frequently and have several(25)updates to be installed. Seems as though it is taking forever. I have it plugged in and changed the amount of time for it to go to sleep to 3 hours...Hope this helps and they all get completed, but if not and laptop goes to sleep, how if anything, does this affect the install? I, also, stopped the screen saver for the time being.

    Most important thing is to have good, fast wifi connection before starting updates. Sounds like you have done the best things about the screensave and sleep. It may not go to sleep is updates are running, so that probably is not a problem. If you can get access to it, you might want to turn sleep time completely off. It will probably want to restart to complete updates, and if you leave it alone, generally it will do the restart by itself.
