Just to be on the safe side...yes you should turn windows defender off. The reason is because windows defender is comprised of three (3) programs. A anti virus, anti spy ware and anti maleware. In addition you cannot have two (2) anti virus programs running at the same time. They will conflict with each other and cause numerous windows errors.

Furthermore If you are installing more protection I must assume you are not happy with defender? I suggest a little more research you'll find your later choice isn't all that good.

Hope this helps
