a. you should not install office suite on your server, nor Live office there.
In general - you patch BI Platform first, then install/patch any client tools
You need take backup of any custom configuration change you have done.After upgrade you need to place these files again.
Image folder
Web.XML file
tomcat/webapps/BOE/WEB-INF/config/custom (all files in custom folder)
Kultar,
First of all if you are planning to use MS Office 2016, you MUST go BI 4.2 SP3. BI 4.1 DOES NOT support MS Office 2016, see PAM links for BI 4.1 and BI 4.2 (see below)
BI 4.1 Supported PAM (Page # 14)

BI 4.2 Supported PAM (Page # 14)

Also note that SP are now commutative, which mean you can straight to the final SP. In you case your best choice is to Install BI 4.2 w/SP3 and then add Patch 04, this is most stable release.

Ajay
