Thank you all for much useful advice. I ended up with an ACEMAGIC T8
Plus. https://www.acemagic.com/collections/minipcs/products/t8plus

Debian 12 installed nicely, with one glitch. I had shrunk the Windows
partition in order to install Debian, but left it otherwise intact.
However the thing insisted on booting to Windows.

To fix it, do the following:

To make the grub bootloader active after installing Linux and GRUB, in
the firmware:

During boot, hit escape or delete to get into the firmware.

Security -> Secure Boot -> Enabled

Boot -> UEFI BBS Priorities -> Debian boot option

Save & Exit -> Save Changes and Exit

I now get GRUB, which will boot either Debian or Windows.

Note: Memtest86 does not appear to work. I believe that is a known
problem with UEFI machines.

I am now busy moving network service over to the new machine.
