You are planning on creating a 'multiboot' with Debian and Windows!

The best thing that I can suggest is to Google 'multiboot Bullseye and
Windows10'.

With W10 you have also the possibility of using 'WLS' an order
alternative would be to install Debian as a VM.
If you choose to go the VM way Virtualbox and Qemu are working fine on
Windows.

I would say that 'WLS' and 'VB/Qemu' are less prone to crashing your laptop.

I think perhaps you mean WSL - Windows Subsystem for Linux?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install

I've never used it myself.

WSL2 - effectively a layer that sits on Hyper-V shim and can talk to 
Windows subsystems. Allows you to run Debian as a VM, effectively.

Debian WSL2 bundle is maintained by a Debian developer.

Lynx is a text-mode web browser. Did you mean Debian bullseye,
which is the current stable version?

Bullseye should not have a problem with this laptop. If you need
to install via wifi rather than wired ethernet, you should start
with the non-free firmware installer:

I rather guess that "Debian GNU/Lynx, The Unyversl operating system"
is meant. ;-)


Have a nice day :)

I think the o.p. may have got debian linux confused with debian lynx that
makes more sense over here.  Many Linux distros have code words for each
major version of their distributions.  The current stable code word for
debian is bullseye.  I've been installing debian since sarge and remember
no lynx code word attached to any debian version.

There was an Ubuntu release named Lucid Lynx, 11 years ago.
(My bet is that it won't run on a contemporary laptop.)


Have a nice day :)

How big is the hard drive, and how much space is currently occupied?

Cheers,
David.

You processor has hardware support for virtualization:

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/196451/intel-core-i310110u-processor-4m-cache-up-to-4-10-ghz.html

Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x) ‡ Yes
Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) ‡ Yes
Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT) ‡ Yes


I recommend that you install Oracle VirtualBox, create a virtual machine 
(VM), and install Debian GNU/Linux into the VM:

The best way to find that out is to get a Live version of Debian, and
see if boots and runs without problems.

Since your knowledge of Linux admittedly is severely lacking, I would
recommend thoroughly researching Linux, in general, and Debian, in
particularly, BEFORE attempting any install. And the first attempt be
on a system you don't mind trashing.

And always keep in mind: Linux is NOT Windows.  So never assume that
the way you did it on Windows will work on Linux.

Welcome to the neighborhood.
