Microsoft says that Windows devices need to be online for at least eight hours to get the latest updates and have them correctly installed after they're released through Windows Update.
Considering that Windows has a tendency to update randomly without user input, and that most laptops don’t last eight hours on a single charge under load, yeah, hope you bring a restore disk with you everywhere.
Sounds to me like those 8 hours could be split up across several days:
Specifically, data shows that devices need a minimum of two continuous connected hours, and six total connected hours after an update is released to reliably update.
(I’m also not sure that it’s actually 8 hours. I’m interpreting that quote as it requiring 6 hours, of which 2 hours need to be uninterrupted.)
