Hi folks, I recently bought a new laptop and office 2013. 

After setting up and downloading windows 10, I'm going to create a recovery disk , but I'm unsure if i should install the office suite before making the disk up.

Please help?

Hi chester67,

In my view, this answer of the question is based on your request.

If you need to use Office 2013 directly after you completing the "System Restore" (It'll help you backup Office suits and Office profile), please install Office 2013 before making the disk up.

If you just want an clean backup Windows 10 OS, please do not install Office 2013 before making the disk up.

Hope it's helpful.

Regards,
