No. I'm not sure which one you mean, but they are both important structurally. And they will both be structurally jointed to the stringer.
They can be dismantled and reassembled.
Many can't be disassembled.
Taking out the window would be the best option. It's not that big a deal, it will all go back with just one tube of sealant involved.
You just need a window fitter, twice. And need to find out who or how it's going to be hoisted through the window. And don't move house any time soon.

Pivot!
Send the sofa back and buy one that fits or comes in bits.

Send the house back and get a proper one.
Why's the sofa going upstairs anyway?
They install plasterboard letterboxes while building these houses so they can get the boards up without using the stairs...

Many houses have the living room on a different level than the the entry level.
If so then it's nuts if it's accessed via such a tight staircase. I'm amazed if building standards say this is OK.
Beds usually come apart, for this sort of reason. But sofas are often in one piece.

Not really, modular sofas are widely available. BTW @ the OP a decent retailer should be asking you about access before you purchase it.
A lot of modern three storey town houses are built this way. We recently completed a large structural job on the ground floor of one whereby we removed most of the walls and turned it into a kitchen diner. It was previously a garage, a DS loo and a small bedroom. The staircase was a small footprint winder with long newels and plenty of turns.
Our sofa came in multiple parts but was assembled via some sort of ratcheting mechanism where it clicked and locked into place. I've no idea whether it would ever come apart again though, perhaps you're meant to chainsaw it up and throw the bits out of the window when you need to move, then buy a new one.
I guess wardrobes and most furniture need to be flat-packed? Then disassembled or just destroyed if you move.
Actually I think you'd struggle with the base of our 3-seater looking at the stairs shown in this thread, even without the back attached.
