What are x86 and x64 editions?
Running the x64 (64 bit) edition also requires an x64 Windows edition. The advantage of Office x64 is a bit better performance. Disadvantage is that it doesn't support most third party plugins and add-ons. Microsoft actually discourages the use of the x64 editions. So unless you're absolutely sure you need an x64 edition, you should choose x86 (32 bit).
Download Office 2013 Backup Images from Microsoft
The following links point to the official download server officecdn.microsoft.com. Instead of ISO they come as IMG images. These files are pure backup media, and can't be installed without a retail product key.
The IMG images are not the same as the "Single Image" downloads that used to be available from Digital River, but offline versions of the streaming "Click-to-Run" version, with all disadvantages associated with that. If your required download is not included here (such as Office 2013 Professional Plus) please proceed to the download instructions here.
