How to select the option offered by Microsoft to auto update your Windows 7 system?

If you bought a new computer and doing the initial set up process of installing Windows 7 Home Premium system yourself, you should select the "Use recommended settings" option when the "Set Up Windows" wizard prompts you for the Windows system auto update option:

The "Set Up Windows" wizard will display the auto update option as:
