Ive downloaded all the updates that i need for my
computer through windows catalogue, so that when i
reformat it i dont have to update it again. How do i
have them all install one after another wihtout having to
sit here for half a day and open one, wait for it to
finish, then open the next and so on??? is there an
unattended mechanism that i dont know about???

.... but, it's your system. Here's the option you requested :
