Hello Rohan,
This might be better asked on debian-user which is the mailing list for
user support.
A couple of straightfrorward questions:
Is this a first ever Debian install for you?
Do you have any other operating system on the laptop that you wish to
retain?
Do you wnt the laptop to only run Debian?
I would suggest that you use the standard Debian installer (rather than a
Live DVD) and also that you use the unofficial installer which does contain
the firmware found in non-free.
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/current/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-11.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso is the small
netinst image.
Hope this helps,
With every good wish,
Andrew Cater
