Should I update then install on hard drive , or install then update?? Thanks for any help. Trying to make it run as best as it can. I'm on a 360 250g s.

I'm not too sure it matters actually, unless someone can correct me.

I install most games I play and usually install first, then update.

It shouldnt matter but best practice is to install first then patch, just so that there are not any weird issues that could crop up.

It doesn't matter. This is not a PC

The install file and the patch are two separate files. The patch does not alter the install file in any way just like it can't alter the disc.
