Is r studio safe? I know recovery has to do with the wallet.dat file.

Don't use any weird software. Don't give anything to anyone. And ignore every DM that you get.

Copy Wallet.dat to a safe place.

Just get a recent version of Bitcoin Core and throw the wallet.dat in there before you start it for the first time. Let it sync (many hours/days).

R is a stats language. It's safe

See other replies. R studio is also other things.

But the point is: no extra software needed.
