So, the Sony laptop has Debian 9.13 i386 installed on the HDD/SSD?


Debian 9 LTS support ended on 01 Jul 2022:

https://endoflife.date/debian


If the Sony laptop can boot Debian 11 amd64 via CD, it should be able to 
boot an amd64 OS via USB.  I suggest copying 
debian-12.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso to a USB flash drive and trying to boot 
it.  If it works, you can decide if you want to use d-i, if you want to 
burn a live distribution to a USB device, and/or if you want to install 
Debian onto a USB device.
