A computing device for receiving an update package comprising a plurality of updates for a plurality of hardware and/or software components of the computer device. An update engine may determine a time order for performing the updates based on relationships and groupings of the updates. The update engine may identify common groupings, interdependent groupings, and any independent updates in the received update package. The update engine may perform a common grouping update method for all identified common groupings and an interdependent grouping update method for all identified interdependent groupings. In the circumstance that all updates in the update package are determined to be independent updates, the update engine may perform an independent update method that enables a selected independent component to be made available at the beginning of the update period, while other components are updated and enabled, and then the selected independent component is updated last.
