It doesn't matter which one goes first. I would setup machine first before adding new software.
Regards.

@Ralph_H1 -- I would
- run Windows Update, repeatedly, until my computer is up-to-date;
- if the computer has a "spinning" disk-drive, not a SSD, run the Disk Defragmenter;
- download/install the usual "free" software, e.g., Adobe Reader and Apple iTunes;
- download/install/activate Microsoft Office;
- run Windows Update again, to get all the updates for Office. Maybe, not necessary, if you are downloading Office 365;
- reload my personal files.
That's my method. YMMV
