Default Coolant question

I've never changed the coolant in my car. The way I understand it is you fill the radiator first with 4 quarts of 50/50 mix. Then you start the car and turn the heat on all of the way. After the thermostat opens and drains the radiator you then proceed to fill the radiator with plain water. Is this correct, if not please give me some insight on the proper way.
