Moreover I'd like to understand if some of the tools I need to work are

Just one more, having just a try is too long for me, because of my ignorance
in this field, so I'd rather like to know if it is possible to do so in a
"brief" time (without ending after 4 weeks with something like: "ok, it's
not possible to do").

I don't have a HP laptop.

The quickest and easiest way to find out, what is working hardware-wise is to download/get a Knoppix-CD or DVD, insert it and boot from it. From a running system from CD it's also possbile to install the Knoppix-system onto your hard disk. Check out

Knoppix is a CD/DVD-based 'live distribution' based on Debian.
